<p>Any questions? Thank you so much for reading this!</p>

<p>Honestly, I’m not a Sarah Lawrence parent or student. But looking at all you have, you seem like you stand a great chance at getting into any school you want. Of course, if your SAT scores are low and the school treasures that, it would be an issue. But certainly at a school that doesn’t look at SAT scores, you sound amazing.</p>

<p>Though saying that you are extremely liberal and a tree hugger isn’t exactly in the realm of “accomplishments”, but I’m sure you can use those attributes in any essay that you write, if you feel strongly enough.</p>

<p>You have a great shot at SLC and more. Your ECs are def. strong and will help you anywhere.</p>

<p>you should think about taking SAT score too it shows the colleges that you can do both tests and handle them well. OTher than that I am sure you have a great chance at your first choice! good luck! chance me</p>
