<p>Assuming that your essays are as good as you say, and that you have shown interest in Kenyon somehow (speaking with adcom at a HS visit, campus visit, alumni interview), it is more likely than not that you will be accepted. Do you attend a private or public HS? Your coursework seems to be very rigorous for your school, and your ACT score is at the 75th percentile for accepted students at Kenyon. You have a good GPA and extracurriculars. Kenyon really values diversity, and the fact that you are a QuestBridge finalist does hold significant value. Congrats on what you have accomplished, I hope you are accepted.</p>

<p>I’m visiting the 20th (yay travel grants!), my school is a tiny little private one no one knows, not sure how the school report portrays it but yeah, this is about as tough as I can get. Glad the QB finalist status will matter! And thank you :)</p>
