Chance me?

Chance me?

I’m a rising senior from Long Island, NY. Upper(ish) middle class, white, female. Kenyon’s one of my dream schools and I’d love to know what you think my chances of getting in (and getting decent merit aid) are.

Weighted GPA: 97.8 (~4.2-4.3)
SAT: 2300 (800 writing, 720 cr, 780 math)
PSAT: 215
AP classes: apush (5), physics 1(3), lang (5), taking lit/eco/gov/bio this year

ECs: president Science Olympiads, Crisis Department Director model UN(plus a bunch of MUN awards), 3+ years science research (including 2 nat’l finalists, anthro research this summer), science/Spanish/national honor society, staff writer newspaper, volunteer at New York Public Library

As for demonstrated interest, I talked with an alum (and left my name) at a college fair, visited last week, had a great interview with a student, and emailed my region’s rep.

Also, what are some schools that overlap Kenyon? Thanks!

I’m not sure why you are uncertain as to your chances. Your application would be competitive virtually anywhere.
