My AP Lit teacher (super close w/him inside and outside of school) went to an LAC and believes I will best thrive there. I never thought about that. Ik LAC’s are super selective and don’t necessarily pick the “best stats”… do you think I have a shot? (sorry for posting stats again-- I made it shorter)
GPA: 3.83/4.0 (prestigious boarding school in CT)
SAT: 1510
EC’s:
Volunteer-- Mentor at Day Care and Tutoring in Hartford CT, led local walks for hunger and human trafficking in Hartford
Enviro Club Pres/Founder-- Donated approx $650 to Greenpeace
Amnesty Int’l Pres (member throughout HS)
Publication of research paper in 2national academic journals
Won 2 Silvery Key Scholastics Writing Awards
Did internships and summer programs
Along with enviro studies, my true passion is creative writing, hence why I respect my English teacher sm.
Can you guys chance me?I know Amherst comes out today but I think this can help me in the long run. WILL CHANCE BACK!
Thank you! Ik stats aren’t great but feedback is appreciated
@STEMorNothing21 was kinda looking for a more analyzed response then “yeah sure”, but: I cant tell if this is a joke since you cant get a 2053 on an SAT. and chance for Amherst? what schools?
Don’t know much about Amherst, but I know that lots of LAC’s have environmental programs and their schools are green friendly (Wesleyan, Macalester, Vassar). I would also look into Pomona, you seem like a great fit.
@doorrealthe thanks! I just got waitlisted from Amherst, not depending on getting in RD but based on stats of accepted RD students this year from the CC thread, I was expecting a rejection
@doorrealthe my first choice is still Brown, but Amherst is def one of my tops. I have like 10 schools to hear back from… should I send a letter of interest after hearing back (April 1), or is immediately better?
