does anyone have any TIPS for admissions?

<p>3.6 GPA at a nationally known hs
1400 SAT</p>

<p>based on this, are my chances pretty slim?
Do you guys have any tips for admission?</p>

<p>Thanks so much</p>

<p>"Slim" is too harsh. You're actually more of a match than you might think. Playing an instrument; being a math or science whiz or, a rather large football player with an aversion to the color purple would all help.</p>

<p>Was the purple aversion comment an Amherst/Williams allusion? Or am I overanalyzing?</p>

<p>Yeah, it was. :)</p>

<p>johntam, i just got in ED with a 1400 (680M, 720V) and a 3.5UW. obviously, a lot of other factors are considered...but in terms of those numbers, i would say you are at least a match, unless you sit in your room and make orgami all day and thus dont have any nice ECs and whatnot.</p>

<p>Applying ED doubles ones chances of admission. Just saying.</p>
