<p>hi everyone...just wondering what you think my chances are for both acceptance and any kind of merit awards...if there even are even merit awards?</p>

<p>SAT: 2190
690 CR 720 M 780 W
but i don't know how important those are at HC
SAT II: USH 730 Math1 700 Bio 640</p>

<p>taken 10 AP's by the end of sr year
so far, 2 4's and 2 5's on exams</p>

<p>Class rank: 13/247 (top 5%)
GPA: 4.0 UW</p>

<p>extracurrics (i think very strong):
Student council vice president
Intern for Congressman
president of numerous volunteer service clubs in school
editor of school newspaper
founded town youth council
town community service program, volunteer of the year and advisory board member for four years
other town youth consortiums/councils
PTSA student rep
tons of volunteering awards</p>

<p>letters of rec are FABULOUS</p>

<p>Numerous family members have attended; there may even be a family scholarship fund. White female from NY.
What do you think?</p>

<p>I think you chances are excellent given what you have posted. I really do not know about merit scholarships but I suspect that you would be in a strong position. Top 5% is strong and your extracurriculars look very solid.</p>

<p>Based on your APs, GPA and class rank, you are a shoe-in.</p>

<p>As for merit aid: the only non-need-based aid is the Ignatian Scholarship (which only covers half of tuition) and HC only gives out 20 of those per year.</p>
