<p>GW, Colgate, and Haverford would be the only potential problems, although I think that you have a decent shot at Hamilton ED. Also, I am considering applying to Lehigh next year, so come check out my thread and chance me.</p>

<p>hate to do this again, but bump</p>

<p>I think that you have like a 50-50 shot. Your SATs are pretty much average for Hamilton, good extracurrics and recs. You'll be fine.</p>
