<p>bump? >.< pleasee?</p>

<p>Considering that I was recently admitted with more or less similar grades and similar ratio of honors to normal classes with a whole ton less extracurriculars and community service that’s nowhere near where you are and got a pretty large scholarship along with it, I’d say that you are in good shape. You’ll probably get in.</p>

<p>(But don’t get lazy senior year: you may still need to send midyear grades.)</p>

<p>oh thank you!! and haha im not. my senior year is actually the most difficult schedule i have ever had! and congrats!!</p>

5

<p>kaetiiii I recommend you visit and interview in the fall and consider an early action or early decision application to boost your chances.</p>

6

<p>But apply early decision only at your dream school, the one you want above all others. It’s a long time from November to September, plenty of time to change your mind if you apply ED to a non-dream-school; you could actually find one!</p>

7

<p>And only ED if your decision is not dependent on your financial aid package.</p>

8

<p>Dickinson is unusual in that it offers the early action option which is non binding, not many small liberal arts schools do this.</p>

<p>“And only ED if your decision is not dependent on your financial aid package.”</p>

<p>Dickinson disagrees:

[Dickinson</a> College - Early Decision](<a href=“http://www.dickinson.edu/admissions/apply/Early-Decision/]Dickinson”>Early Decision | Dickinson College)</li>
</ol>

<p>Plus, Dickinson is a Common Application school:

<p>So if the offer is insufficient to support attendance, you say thanks but no thanks, and apply RD elsewhere.</p>
