It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could provide insights into my chances of being admitted as it is my first choice school and have fell in love with the campus and community. Thank you!
I would say you have a great chance of getting in! My daughter is a current freshman at HC and loves it! Best of luck!
My child also applied ED.
The guidance counselor indicated that it is a reach/ target. GPA is 3.95 with weighted GPA around 4.2 (I think). Lots of extracurriculars, sports captain, volunteers at nonprofits, performs and plays a couple of instruments and works a couple of jobs during the summer. Has attended Catholic grade, middle and high school. We will be applying for financial aid.
With increasingly low acceptance rates we are keeping our fingers crossed!
