Accepted to a good school with a not so impressive gpa?

I got into Kenyon ED2 with a 3.46 UW and a 31 superscored ACT (30 Composite). It’s definitely possible. I put a ton of effort into my essay and I’m pretty positive every other portion of my application was glowing or very impressive, and that is what drove me into the acceptance pile. I’m unsure if you’re a senior or not, but if you aren’t, I think you should focus on having an awesome midyear and writing strong essays, and having the people behind you to give you stellar recs. The holistic process is real–don’t give up!
