<p>I would say that your chances are very good, but it really depends on how well your high school does when sending students to elite colleges.
Other than that, I would say that your chances are very good. I am sure that your competitive dance will look excellent on your resume, as will your ACT score. Of course, your chances depend greatly on whether you apply for early or regular decision.</p>

<p>I hope that this helped alleviate your anxiety!</p>

<p>I’d say they’re pretty good. are you applying regular or ED? that makes a huge difference. i just applied ED to increase my chances of getting in.</p>

4

<p>Thank you! :slight_smile: I applied regular, but I also applied for the Johnson (not that I’m going to get it, but it looks better than not applying!). I was stuck between W&L and Bowdoin for ED, so I just went RD for everything. My interview at W&L went really well, so hopefully that helps a bit.</p>

<p>Good luck to you guys who applied ED!</p>

<p>I applied ED as well and promptly had a panic attack. I cannot wait until December 22!</p>

<p>If i could place a bet, I’d say you’re in…nbd.</p>
