<p>It's okay, I just have an issue with things adding up in my head. I often feel that I need to change bus numbers so they equal the last or first number somehow, or create some sort of pattern.</p>
<p>Anyways, I think you have okay chances. SAT/ACT isn't so nice, but your GPA is good. What's your WGPA? Your activities seem solid, but I may be somewhat partial because drama/scouting/psychology/band is included on there. Did you send a sample of your performances in? That might be a good thing to do. Are you going into psychology, because the psychology club thing might help you with that? (How in the world did you get a psychology club, though?)</p>
<p>On a side note, since you're obviously a psychology buff, I hope you know that BF Skinner, my absolute favourite psychologist for unknown reasons, graduated from Hamilton. He supposedly hated it, but still. =P</p>
<p>1) I did know Skinner went there but i am not too big of a fan...Im more of a Piaget guy myself...
2) Not planning on majoring in Psychology because even now i find myself over analyzing EVERYTHING and i think i would go crazy if i had to spend my life studying psychology
3) I am planning on Majoring in World Politics with a minor in Chinese
4) A friend of mine started the psychology club as an open forum to go beyond what we were learning in our IB HL Psych class and we started it two years ago with about 6 members. I am now the president and we have over 35 members (all of which attend every friday afternoon, so im quite proud :D)
5) I did not send in any examples of my performances but i think i will give them the DVD of me as Chief Bromden in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest when i go up for my interview next week.</p>
<p>your SATs are your only down side. I hope you have more safeties or matches.</p>
<p>Colgate-high match-low reach
Middlebury-match
Georgetown-reach
Columbia-reach
Fordham-match-low match
NYU- high match-low reach
William and Mary- reach
and 3 SUNY's-probly in</p>
<p>and Hamilton states many times that they will not only judge you on your SATs but other academic qualifications (IB tests, Class Avg's, etc.) So im hoping that my SATs arent a huge detriment...</p>
<p>you def have a solid chance, ED should help. As long as they can tell you love their school, id say its probably a match. And yes i know they care about other stuff, i keep having to tell myself that also.</p>
<p>I'd suggest choosing one or two of the pivotal scenes because they won't have time to watch the entire thing. I read Cuckoo's Nest last year, so I don't really remember a good scene. Or, pick another work where you had a monologue/a very good scene. I really would not give them the entire one, though. What other plays did you have a lead in?
The World Politics major works, too. =]</p>
<p>i promise you that if you never bump your chance thread again, i won't bump mine until decisions are out. just wait and see. who cares what people think. you're good enough to get in...but bad enough to be rejected (so am I) just wait it out</p>
<p>^ Take the deal.
Only 23 days left. That's a little more than three weeks.
If you stop, I'll make an EDII waiting thread that we can take our frustrations out on. But chance threads should die because they make me even more nervous.</p>
<p>I would think that your SATs are ~ bottom 15% at Georgetown, Colgate, Middlebury, Hamilton; so to the extent that you don't have submit them at the latter two, would suggest that you don't. However, I have never really understood the concept of both parties pretending the SATs aren't a good indicator for the application but then the school still reporting an SAT average.</p>
