<p>I'm a rising senior and lately, the college pressure has definately been on. I'm seriously considering Carleton and I might even apply ED. I was wondering if anyone could give me their 2 cents on whether I might get in or not. My GPA isn't really all that good mainly because I go to a top private school for girls and I personally find the courses really tough. Also, junior year, my grandfather died so I had to fly back to China (I'm chinese by the way, kinda scared that will work against me) and I ended up missing quite a bit of school. But anyhoo... here it goes.</p>
