I had about your stats and got WL’d RD, so I think you have a strong change if you apply ED.

That should be pretty good for Hamilton ED. My friend has two sisters who go to Hamilton and they had similar qualifications to you (although their ACT was a tad lower).

did they have a 30/31? thanks for the feedback as well

In terms of academic factors considered for admission, Hamilton states that standardized testing places after GPA and course rigour. Nonetheless, their site indicates that applicants with ACT scores in a 31-33 range typically gain admission at a 35% rate. Those with scores in a 28-30 range have encountered a 16% rate of acceptance.

Wishing you the best of luck, @xoxoxoxoxoxoxo23, you seem like a great candidate!
