<p>I’m a class of 2010 too, so I’m no expert, but it seems like you’ve got a fair shot. Though your GPA and SAT I scores are a bit low for Carleton, your status as an international student should help, and you’ve got a ton of interesting and unusual extracurriculars. </p>

<p>Seriously, it sounds like you’ve done some great things! Carleton is my first choice, and I’m always so amazed at what other prospective students have done… it blows my mind that I might get to spend 4 years of my life with such wonderful people :)</p>
