Hi everyone, I’m a new member here, and I was wondering if someone could give me some comments on my chances of getting admitted to Hamilton in the coming ED2

SAT: 1540 (750 Reading + Writing; 790 Math)
SAT Subject: 730 US History; 800 Math Level II
GPA: 9.3 unweighted (I’m an international student)
ECs: Head of props department in school’s musical performance (creating and managing stage designs, backstage crews) (30 hours/week for 9 months)
Organizer in LGBTQ+ advocating project (5 months)
Member of Design department in school’s environmental and social work club (designing photos, posters,…) (2 years)
Working part time as Teaching Assistant in English class for Middle school students (helping to improve students’ pronunciation and writing skills) (4 hours a week for 3 years)
Volunteer for feminism advocating art exhibition and charity project (working for 3-4 months on each)
Awards: First and Second district, municipal levels, and Olympiad English competition for Gifted students
Essay: it’s rather personal, so I don’t really want to divulge anything here sr
Supp: I’m really interested in Hamilton’s stress on students’ writing skills and its encouragement of students taking diverse courses to discover and utilize their abilities and passions to the utmost; so I have quite a lot to write about

Thanks :>>

@smollperson, our DD’s are freshman at Hamilton and had similar test scores - they both had a 35 ACT and two 750-800 SAT’s, so from that perspective I think you are a strong candidate. I also think your EC’s and passion are exactly what Hamilton looks for. Have a question about your GPA as I am not familiar with that international scale - do you know how it compares to a 4.0 scale or 100% scale?

oh thank you
as for my GPA, I think it’s about 3.8, or 93% (my GPA is on a 10 scale)

Your stats are identical to our DD’s as they had a 34 single-sitting/35 superscored ACT, SAT 2’s of 750 Bio E and one had 800 USH and the other 800 Math II, and 3.8 UW / 4.3 W GPA as they had 6-8 AP’s each. Hamilton has a fairly large international student population, and I know the diversity that it brings is important at Hamilton. You sound like a great fit. Good luck!
