I’m not sure about Skidmore, but I think Lafayette is out of your reach unless you’re a recruited athlete. Your gpa is just too low for what they want, despite having a solid ACT score.
mmead01, I disagree. Give the ACT score, the GPA of 3.3 is well within the Lafayette GPA 25-75% range (GPA:3.2-3.7 and ACT: 27-31). In fact, Lafayette’s average ACT is a low 28. They can probably use some candidates who boost that. The choice of major will play a significant role though. And grades in key courses will be important too. Also, listing EC’s isn’t very helpful if you don’t indicate your achievements within each-like varsity good are you? Also, listing president does not help if you don’t indicate the size of the chapter/club.
