Can I get in?

<p>I'm a white female from a competitive public school in Westchester NY.
My GPA is approx. 3.6 unweighted, 4.0 weighted. Freshman year I had a GPA of approx. 3.4, sophomore it increased to 3.6, and now in my junior year I have it at 3.75. I am an EXTREMELY hard worker. I haven't taken the SAT yet but based on my PSATs and my progress my SAT tutor is estimating that I will get a 640-660 on math, 620-640 on critical reading, and 690-710 on writing. I have been a member of multiple clubs such as yearbook, mock trial, and our school newspaper. I tutor 2 different kids, I have been a member of the varsity swim team since freshman year, I'm a member of my church youth group and with that group we do a ton of community service. So far in high school I have about 100 hours of community service and by the end of senior year I will probably have up to 160 hours. I am a very active member in my church community and my community in general. I have very good relationships with every one of my teachers and therefore will hopefully have good recommendations. My intention is to major in business or economics in college. Do I have a good chance of being accepted into Hamilton College? Thank you for your help!</p>

<p>Hello Sophiesm,
Congratualtions on your HS accomplishments, so far. Keep up the good work.</p>

<p>Although I can’t really say whether you’re on track to get accepted to Hamilton, I will point out that, according to Hamilton, their 25%-75% SAT ratio is 1950-2190. If you score at the high end of the ranges you state in your post, you would be at 2010. So, although it wouldn’t be a slam-dunk, it doesn’t appear that you’re out of reach. Keep up the hard work. Junior year is a tough one, but if you work as hard as you indicate, I’ll bet you do just fine.</p>

<p>FYI…my daughter and I visited Hamilton this past summer and thought it was a terrific place. It is one of the schools she’s applied to.</p>

<p>best regards,</p>
