<p>So I just got rejected from Hamilton College where I applied ED, and now I'm thinking that I stand no chance at other schools I'd like to attend.</p>
<p>If I get into BC, Tufts, or Wheaton I'll be happy. But I think my chances are slim...so I need some schools that I can definitely get into similar to the ones I listed. I've seen practically every school in New England, and I just can't see myself anywhere else besides those schools. I don't have many options left(and time is running out), so if there are any schools, from whatever region of the country, that I can get into, feel free to share them.</p>
<p>Sorry to hear the news. Check into Dickinson (excellent in your intended fields of study), Franklin & Marshall, Gettysburg and Dension. All are excellent schools. Best of luck!</p>
<p>steved, I would ask your guidance counselor to call on monday to see if he/she can get any insight into why you were rejected. It might be that there is something about your application that you need to "fix" and it would be good to know about it before you apply to all the rest of your schools.</p>
<p>I might take a look at Holy Cross, Colgate and Trinity and, if you need schools that are easier to get into Clark, University of Vermont and Hobart and William Smith</p>
<p>Well I did pass in a financial aid form almost a month past it's due date. Hamilton had a supplimental form(which asked for the same information as the College Board Profile) that wasn't in my application booklet. I'd assume that only had to do with getting financial aid, not admission, though.</p>
<p>Goucher and American. You are a great candidate and might get merit $$. Goucher looked incredible to us for international studies. Check it out!</p>
<p>midatlmom has given you great advice. If would be also useful to know why so few of the NE LACs were unappealing to you. What was it about them you didn't like? </p>
<p>Some of these have been mentioned. They have some of the characteristics of Hamilton. </p>
<p>Trinity
Colgate
Franklin & Marshall
Dickinson
Lafayette
Kenyon
Denison
Kalamazoo
Macalester
Lawrence
Sewanee
Washington & Lee
Rhodes
University of Richmond
Whitman
Occidental</p>
<p>The further afield you go, the easier the admission, generally.</p>
<p>Lol, no. I have good ECs. Two sport Varsity athelte, Double Bass Player, Student Government, Community Service. I know some amazing students from elite boarding schools that got rejected from Hamilton...so maybe they just hate my area. Or maybe my essays just sucked. / enough excuses.</p>
<p>I'm baffled. Did you like cheat or something in school? I'm trying to come up with ANYTHING that would make them flat-out reject you. One of your teachers hate you? Are you housing Osama Bin Ladin? Anything!?</p>
<p>I did have two Cs on my junior year transcript in Precalc and Physics...but my other classes balanced out my GPA. And do they defer?! Now I really feel bad...and I didn't cheat on anything. But I did pass in that financial aid thing in late.</p>
