<p>I go to one of those insane Catholic girls schools and next year I'm taking AP Stats, AP Comparative Gov, AP US Gov, AP Art History, AP English Lit, Theology IV and Creative Writing
I know my essay and recs will be great, but I feel like my gpa could be kind of low--I go to a really intense school. Do I have a chance?</p>

<p>wholeperson,</p>

<p>You have a good chance at MHC--especially since SAT is optional and not heavily weighted and your SAT II results are very good--no need to re-take SAT if you are applying ED to MHC----worth doing for a clear first choice. Make an effort to visit for an interview or do one with a local alumna. Write good essays and emphasize your drama interest and experience. ( I have experience doing alumna interviews--with many candidates who were accepted.) My D will also be applying to MHC.</p>

<p>Thanks! I had a great interview on campus and I can't apply ed because of financial aid</p>

4

<p>why did you think you cant apply ED to holyoke due to financial concerns?</p>

<p>if i don't get enough financial aid i can be released but no college would accept me if i were already bound to MHC and i'd be in lots of trouble</p>
