<p>I'm a homeschooled student who was recently contacted by Sarah Lawrence College. I've started researching the school, and I'm afraid I've fallen in love. Could anyone chance me based on my extracurriculars and projects? I know that I'd be able to get great letters of recommendation. I'm also a native pacific islander (from Guam, a US territory) and I was wondering if anyone knows what diversity is like at SLC?
