<p>I'm applying to Hamilton ED I (it's my top choice), although my SAT scores are low:
700 math, 630 writing, 550 verbal (1880)
I've taken all honors and 4 APs in my high school
GPA: 3.73 (unweighted), well over 4.1 weighted
I interviewed at the school in November and have visited twice</p>

<p>Extracurricular Activities:
Teach religious education (past 4 years)
Executive board member of my school's international club
Ambassador to my school's sister school in China
Student Government
Girl's Track & Field (varsity)
Member of my school's National Honor's Society (in which I'm involved in two community service committees)
Managing Editor of my school's newspaper
And I also have a job after school and on the weekends</p>

<p>Maybe, but you need a Plan B, and be prepared for bad news. Students do get accepted with those stats, but more are rejected - it’ll all come down to other factors. If you were a recruited athlete, you would have a better chance.</p>

<p>D is ED1 at another school, even more competitive, and I’ve told her that she needs to have her ED2 app ready to go should ED1 be a no. She’ll be in no mood to write a top notch essay - you should do the same.</p>
