<p>I got rejected at my ED school so now I'm so unsure of where I can get in. Do I have any chance with any top LACS like Williams, Haverford, Amherst, Vassar, Hamilton</p>

<p>SATS: R800 M780 W780
SAT II: Math II 800, Chem 770
AP: 8 by end of this year, 3 fives and 1 four so far
GPA: 3.98/4.00
Rank:5/256
HS: Competitive Public HS in VA
Ethnicity: White
Sex: M
Recs: One excellent, the other teacher mentioned that sometimes I was very worried about my grade but she was just trying to convey that I cared about my schoolwork (don't know if admissions people took it the wrong way)
ECs: +200 hours volunteer at nursing home,
Public speaking- master of ceremonies in many events
Olympiads and intra school events
Summer Activities: college courses
varsity soccer 3 years (captain senior year)
Spanish Club (president)
Essays: literally spent weeks on them. family, friends, teachers all said the essays are awesome
FA: not applying for</p>

<p>If I can get in any of these, I would go. My confidence is so shot, I'm almost convinced that I'll be going to my safety (it's nice that I got a great Merit aid offer from them) but I'd rather go to any of the above if I get accepted?</p>

<p>You have a very good chance at all of them, but because of sheer numbers, there are no guarantees at any one specific school (particularly Amherst and Williams which accept less than 15 percent). You are a great candidate - apply to that list, add a couple more good LACs just to be safe, and I’m sure you will get into several very good choices. </p>

<p>Don’t be discouraged by getting rejected ED - it’s just a numbers/luck game. </p>

<p>You have some great stats and I’m sure you’ll get into some (if not all) of the schools you listed. Regardless, remember, its more important what you do in college than where you go to college.</p>

<p>Oh wow your stats are really good :slight_smile: Where did you get denied from? :open_mouth: I think you should go for Williams or Amherst considering your scores and ECs :slight_smile: Chance back? <a href=“Chance me for Vassar I'll chance back :) - Vassar College - College Confidential Forums”>Chance me for Vassar I'll chance back :) - Vassar College - College Confidential Forums;
