Colleges and Universities A-Z Kenyon College
1

<p>GPA - 3.15 Cumulative (upward trend, I had a bad freshman year, since then I always have at least a 3.5 semester gpa) 4 point scale</p>

<p>SAT - 660 Verbal, 660 Math, 650 Writing
ACT - 30</p>

<p>I go to a rigorous college prep school. It is ranked 45th in the country.</p>

<p>Extracurricular Activities - I played two seasons of Football, two seasons of Cross Country, 4 seasons of Wrestling (will be Captain Senior year), 4 seasons of Track & Field. I have been in 6 plays so far, and I will most likely be in 8 by the end of my high school career. (two plays per year). I have talent for it and I plan to continue with it in college. I am also part of Campus Republicans and the Alcohol Prevention Team (I'll explain this more in a little bit)</p>

<p>I wish to major in History and Theater. Like I said I have talent in theater, and I have had all As in history. I take tough classes and AP classes. I am going to write two very interesting essays for my application. One is about how I lost 105 lbs. and the other is about what I learned from my two week suspension.</p>

<p>I was suspended for two weeks during the second semester of my sophomore year. I got drunk with the wrestling team on a trip and had a seizure. We were all caught because of me. We were almost kicked out of school, but instead we were suspended for only two weeks. I have learned my lesson and to show my appreciation to the school I became a founding member of the Alcohol Prevention Team. Our mission is to promote a sober campus. I am now sober and I do not plan to touch alcohol for a long time.</p>

<p>I am a WASP from St. Louis, Missouri.</p>

<p>What are my chances? Thanks for the help.</p>

<p>Anyone out there?</p>

<p>Your GPA is going to be a limiting factor…but I would say go ahead and apply based on the rest of your stats.</p>

<p>country day - I’m from STL too, and I agree with MolBioAce06 about your GPA. From your username, I assume you go to MICDS? Kenyon should have a rep visiting the school in the fall; make sure you go to any events they host and get to know the rep. Definitely visit if you haven’t already. Burroughs kids usually have no trouble getting in, but you’ll probably have to push a bit harder coming from MICDS.</p>

<p>Any chance you’ve won any sports or theater awards? The sports/theater you do are great, and your application would look even better with some awards on it.</p>

<p>I have won quite a few awards in theater. Also I disagree about the MICDS thing. MICDS and JBS are about equal.</p>

<p>Try to get some help from the track and field and cross country coaches. It wont help a lot, but you never you, it’ll show more interest and could make the difference.</p>
