<p>Wow, that's a lot of stuff. You've certainly built up an application there...Wow. I'd say you have a great shot at any good liberal arts college, but I'll say what I said in the other post on this thread...</p>

<p>SLC isn't like other schools.</p>

<p>The only three things Sarah Lawrence grades as very important are</p>

<p>1) Your Essays
2) Your Teacher Recs
3) Your personal Character</p>

<p>They only classify GPA as "Important" and they don't even consider SATs (as you know)</p>

<p>Basically, they only accept kids if they are a fit to the school. Sarah Lawrence only wants a certain breed of quirky, intellectual students, so it's really a crapshoot.</p>
