<p>Looks like solid middle / upper half of enrolled freshmen, good RD candidate. Carleton would want to know that you have a strong, sincere interest in them, as you should. Carleton <em>is</em> different and fit is everything for 4 yrs in Northfield. NWU and Carleton are quite different choices. If Carleton is your #1 choice, I would consider adding 2-3 other LACs or small universities after investigating fit and school personalities because there few sure things in college admissions these days.</p>
