<p>I am a rising senior at a very competitive hs in Connecticut
My cumulative (unweighted) GPA is a 3.4 (unsure what it would be weighted)</p>
<p>Upon graduation, I will have taken a total of 5 ap courses and over 10 honors classes.
SAT's = 1970</p>
<p>14 years of ballet with impressive summer programs (took a dance class at hamilton already)</p>
<p>I am confident in my interviewing skills, and will certainly arrange one, and english is my academic strength; coinciding with Hamilton's emphasis on writing. </p>
<p>Thinking about applying ED!!</p>
<p>PLEASE let me know what you feel my chances would be...</p>
<p>it’s hamilton, you’ll get in!</p>
<p>apolohno, the GPA and SAT are a little low for Hamilton (SAT’s in the 25% level), so it is not a slam dunk that she will get accepted.</p>
<p>however, the ED acceptance rate is 42%, compared to the 30% overall rate.</p>
<p>Your GPA and SAT is really low.</p>
<p>The OP’s scores are right at about the lower edge of Hamilton’s reported median band. However, Hamilton is SAT optional (other scores may be substituted) and only about 60% of enrolled students do report them. Presumably, the 40% who don’t report have lower averages. </p>
<p>A lot may depend on class rank. Hamilton looks like a reach, but not out of reach by any means.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone… I know Hamilton is a definite reach, but its nice to know it might not be completely out of the question if I apply E.D.</p>
