<p>I've been really confused about college, but I really like Kenyon. I've heard the interview/visit is a very important factor in admissions. The problem is, I live twenty hours away. Visiting is virtually impossible right now. I may have the chance later on, but as of this point in time I can't. So I was wondering if I still have a good shot without a visit? </p>
<p>Stats:
Well my school is pretty small but it's very competitive. I'm ranked in the top 5% of about 200 (we have the biggest class).
My GPA unweighted is a 4.0 and weighted it's like a 4.2 or 4.3 (somewhere in there).
I've taken or am taking all of the advanced classes my school offers. Sadly there are only 2 APs and a lot of dual credit and honors courses.
I have almost 20 credit hours from another private liberal arts school not far from my hometown.
Then I have about 10 credit hours from the local community college.
I've taken advance math all the way through Advanced Calc II, which is as high as I can go in high school.
I'm taking AP English and AP Bio and Advanced Physics next year. (looking to major in Biochemistry)
My ACT score is a 30, but I read on the Kenyon website that they look at the subscores and give a new composite, so with the two times I've taken it, my new composite would be a 31. I'm going to take the ACT again so maybe I will actually get a 31.
I'm really into foreign language and culture as well as science. My dad's in the Airforce and I used to live in Germany and I speak German fairly well. I also like French, though my school doesn't have french anymore.</p>
<p>ECs:
Well I went to Girls State
I have been to a three week science camp at a local university. (only 30 kids in the state selected)
I participated in the regional science competition, I got beat by an older kid going to Caltech so I didn't think I did to bad.
I have won state level in French foreign language competition. (two award, 1st for writing and 2nd for a painting)
I was selected to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine, but it was too expensive so I went to Gils State instead.
I'm the vice president of the National Honors Society. (member for 2 years, will be 3) I was in NJHS for four years before that.
I'm president of French Club. (member for 2 years)
I am also in Young Governors (probably will get an office this year)
And I'm in speech and debate.
I volunteer at the local hospitals whenever I have extra time. (want to go into medicine)</p>
<p>Anyway, I really like Kenyon. I like the size and the fact that it's isolated (call me crazy).
I also like that they have great science and language programs. It's beautiful as well. In truth, I haven't known about the school for more than a few months (first heard about it at Girls State), but there is nothing I don't like about it so far. I'm probably going to apply ED I. So with my stats, coupled with the fact that I can't visit, what do you think my chances are?</p>
<p>ps: Can I do the interview over the phone or something like that? There probably aren't any alum close to where I live. </p>
<p>Thanks in advance :)</p>
