<p>You look like a shoo-in. Show lots of interest and you shouldn't have any problem! Depending on who else applies, you may also be in the running for a scholarship. :)</p>
<p>Sounds good to me :) I went and visited and they said that they like it when applying students come to visit and that it gives them a little advantage so hopefully I'll be accepted.</p>
<p>Just don't slack off; keep your grades up! Upward trends in grades is what they're looking for. Gettysburg is SAT/ACT optional, but with your scores, I'd submit them (they're required for a scholarship). Write some great essays (don't be afraid to get advice; make sure they're grammatically correct!). Don't quit any of your ECs. Do you work? They like to see some work experience. Stay out of trouble, and you should be fine.</p>
<p>Heck yes, you're in, and I would possibly expect a Dean's Scholarship. I received one when I applied, and let me tell you, it seriously helps with the tuition!</p>
