<p>Some outside info: Was diagnosed and finally treated for serious ADD/ADHD in spring of junior year which explains why I have a low GPA and high ACT score. My mother suffered a near death experience thanksgiving of sophomore year which took up alot of my time for about half a year which also contributes to a reason why my grade was slacking for some of sophomore year.</p>

<p>Early: Union College
RD: Trinity College, Syracuse, Bentley, Drexel, Ithaca, Dartmouth, Babson College</p>

<p>Also what do you guys think about Hofstra? I don't see why I shouldn't apply to it but my mom says that I can do better..</p>

<p>To be honest, the only schools I'd be excited to go to were Trinity, Union, Syracuse, and Dartmouth. Bentley kinda but the so few major options sorta make me nervous... Ithaca I am kind of uninterested in applying to but I figure its a safety, I don't know that much about Drexel and Babson but I don't think I'd be too excited to go there.</p>

<p>Are there other schools do you think I should be looking at? </p>

<p>I am interested in a small-medium sized school in the northeast that is liberal-artsy kind of but doesn't have to be liberal arts. I can't apply to state schools/public schools because their financial aid won't be enough.</p>

<p>Sorry I can't really comment on your chances topic but I am just a highschool senior biting my fingers anxiously waiting to hear from my schools. Was pretty discouraged getting rejected from Washington & Lee. I wish everybody here good luck with their applications!</p>

<p>I also played club soccer for 3 years and spent 2 months during the summer studying in Colombia at a private school in sophmore - junior year. Forgot to mention that.</p>
