<p>I stayed overnight with some students there and was able to really connect with them. I've visited a total of 2 times, and the admissions officer for my state knows me by name. </p>
<p>My common app essay is distinctly one of a potential Carleton student- I wrote about playing D&D, which popular among Carles along with other quirky hobbies. I think this kind of essay will appeal to them. </p>
<p>I interviewed with the Associate Dean of Admissions and the results were VERY positive- he said I'm the epitome of a Carleton student and he would admit me if it were purely his decision but couldn't make any promises.</p>
<p>I'm just worried about my test scores and grades, which are slightly under average.
What are my chances?</p>
