<p>Of all the colleges I've visited so far Hamilton was by far my favorite, I understand however that it is extremely competitive and my application may not be up to their standards. I've already visited and plan on having an interview sometime soon. I go to a public school in Upstate New York.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.4 unweighted
SATs: 660 CR, 710 W, 560 M. Not that it matters, but I plan on retaking them to increase my terribly low math score.
APs: AP English 11th and 12th grade, AP Government, AP Macroeconomics
Honors: English 9th and 10th, History 10th and 11th, Latin 12th
(I've taken two languages all four years if that holds any bearing)
Awards: National Latin Exam Cum Laude (I believe)</p>
<p>Extracurriculars: </p>
<ul>
<li>Active member of SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) since 10th grade and current President</li>
<li>Indoor/Outdoor Track and Field all four years</li>
</ul>
<p>Other activities:</p>
<ul>
<li>Girl Scouts (Silver award recipient and working towards gold), so a great deal of volunteering</li>
<li>piano ? haha</li>
</ul>
<p>Work Experience:</p>
<ul>
<li>Journalism Career internship (54 hours)</li>
<li>babysitting!</li>
</ul>
<p>As far as the application goes, I think my letters of recommendation will positively reflect my high school experience and my essays will be well written.</p>
<p>Other school I am applying to: Marist, Le Moyne, SUNY New Paltz, Trinity, St. Michaels, and Massachusettes College of Liberal Arts (at the request of my parents!)</p>
<p>Oh! Unfortunately, several people who go to my school will most definitely be applying to Hamilton and I don't know how many people they'd be willing to accept from the same high school???</p>
<p>Thanks so much. I'd rather have a general idea than have my heart set on a college I'm not qualified for.</p>
