Great achievements. I think you have a wonderful chance. Of course, wonderful at Carleton is not 100% :slight_smile:

Yes, per CDS, they take alumni relation into account but you’re strong regardelss. And you have geographic diversity too. They had only 7 from GA last year. And even though they say they don’t look at demonstrated interest, i’ll call bs in that - ED is the best DI and most every school gives an advantage for ED.

And I love your essay choice - fantastic.

Best of luck - I think you have good odds or put another way - you did everything you could so if they don’t take you, their loss. But I’d bet on the “in.”.

I know you have your targets and safeties just in case.
