<p>My, you are cute!</p>

<p>Thanks for looking - I will get you back for sure if you give me a bit of feedback on my college dreams. I'm looking at Wellesley, Mt. Holyoke (ED), Bryn Mawr and Hamilton college. Dartmouth would be ED if I though it was worth the risk.</p>

<p>OK here goes:</p>

<p>Chicago - top ten public school</p>

<p>SAT 2060
ACT 31
GPA 3.45 unweighted

Remainder all weighted honors classes</p>

<p>NMS Commended
NHS VP
National Spanish Honor Society</p>

<p>Highest Orchestra (Cello) 4 years
A few 1st place solo awards here and there - made it to district twice
Leadership positions 3 years</p>

<p>Thespian (Theater) Honors

<p>American Cancer Society RFL team leader 4 years</p>

<p>Hospital Volunteer (100+ hrs)

Holding down job (12 hrs/wk)(12)</p>

<p>Neither parent finished college (teenage mother who abandoned with dad)</p>

<p>Recommendation letters go all out (top 5% everything, adversity)</p>

<p>Not overthinking essays.</p>

<p>SO, what do you think?????</p>

<p>Wellesley - reach
Mt. Holyoke - match/in
Dartmouth - major reach/app donation
Bryn Mawr - low reach (but remember that they require two SAT subject tests!)
Hamilton - unfamiliar</p>

<p>Thank you for chancing me</p>

<p>Your headline had quite an effective hook hahaha</p>

<p>Wellesley would be a reach under a regular decision, however, Mount Holyoke as an ED looks like a really good match :)</p>

<p>1) I love the fact that you said sexy on CC
2) I also love that you’re not overthinking your essays :)</p>

<p>You have fantastic ECs, which will help a lot. Your SAT/GPA aren’t great, but I think they’re enough for the schools you want to go to. As long as you write half decent essays and can portray that you’re an interesting person (which you’ve definitely done in this thread :slight_smile: you should get into at least a few of those schools. GL!</p>

<p>Just got back from Bryn Mawr and Haverford - I will probably apply ED to Bryn Mawr now, I am sold. I will give them my ACT which is the more solid of the two. Bryn Mawr is very skeptical of the tests anyway, but I feel I will need to rely on the ACT to offset the GPA. The interview was very warm and personal, liked it a lot - I hope the feeling was mutual. BTW Haverford no longer needs to see SAT IIs with an ACT score. Haverford is also moving up on my list, but still reach-ville.</p>

<p>Hey, I’m a current Bryn Mawr freshman, and I’m so glad you’re thinking about ED! I think you have a very good shot, especially with great extra-curriculars and that ACT score. My SAT was like 1430 core and 2100 combined, and I know people here who were below that. Good luck! Feel free to email me or something if you have any questions about Bryn Mawr- personally I love it, definitely a lot of work but a lot of fun with a really welcoming community (plus our gorgeous campus!). </p>

<p>Also, if you liked Haverford, don’t worry, the BiCollege consortium is really strong with events, friendships, and courses. Bryn Mawr’s population grows during the day because of the influx of Hford and Swarthmore students on campus, and we go there a ton. I got the feeling that our consortium was much closer than that of Smith, Amherst, UMASS, Mt Holyoke, and Hampshire; just another bonus…</p>

<p>Wow, that was way longer than it needed to be. tl;dr? I think you have a good chance for Bryn Mawr- good luck!</p>

<p>Hamilton seems like a decent match, good luck.</p>

<p>Also I would think that Mount Holyoke is a definite, while Wellesley would be more of a reach. Although your class rank will be a big bonus. GL!</p>
