<p>Iheartpacman: I don't know if anyone here is "qualified" to truly say what your "chances" at MHC might be, but I can tell you they have a very holistic way of looking at stats and ECs. I don't think that any one area is what they strive for. You have a diverse background and that's always attractive to schools.</p>

<p>Be sure to visit the campus if you can (it's beautiful, but in a pretty remote location), and do lots of research on women's colleges and also the area of English/creative writing to make sure that whatever school you eventually choose will match your needs and goals.</p>

<p>Stay in touch and let us know how things go for you.</p>

<p>I already have a top choice school that i think(hope) i would fit into well; Emerson in Boston...
This was just a matter of curiousity. I don't think my stats are anywhere near competetive, especially for a Seven Sisters school. But this school had been recommended to me over and over again, so i thought i'd look into it.</p>

<p>Thank you for your help~</p>

<p>Haha, you seem to be doubting yourself. I think you're a definite match for this school. Visit, you'll fall in love. Definitely submit your ACT score, because it's competitive (especially for MHC). Ohh, and your E/Cs are amazing; MHC will love that. Good luck! </p>

<p>Good luck with Emerson, too.</p>

<p>And thank you~</p>
