<p>So I find out if I'm getting accepted/deferred/waitlisted under Early Decision II from Colby College in less than a week now and now I'm really having my doubts...any thoughts?</p>

<p>GPA: 3.5/3.6
Class Rank: 39/311
Courseload: Mostly all honors. 3 APs. I took honors math and science even though they're definitely not my best subjects. I moved up in all my classes after freshmen year because college prep was too easy...</p>

<p>ACT: 30</p>

<p>Senior Courseload:( got a lot of B's this year...)</p>

<p>H. Pre Calc
H. Physics
AP Lit/Comp
AP Euro
AP French</p>

<p>Extra Extracurriculars:
-Drama Club, Varsity Letter
-Cross Country, Junior Varsity letter
- French Tutor
-Volunteer at Hospital
-Volunteer teaching disabled children how to swin
-Work at a restaurant ~16 hours a week</p>

<p>Intended Majors: History, French</p>

<p>Awards:
-First Place National History Day Regional Competition 2006
-Second Place National History Day State Competition 2006
-Best Use of Primary Sources: National History Day 2007
-Century Club (Top 10 Freshmen, 20 Sophomores, 30 Juniors, and 40 Seniors based off of unweighted GPA)
-National Honors Society (at least 40 hrs of Community Service, and at least 3 Leadership positions).</p>

<p>Recs: Good, one from History teacher who has known me all four years and one from my French teacher who has also known me all four years.
My interview was really good, </p>

<p>Essay:One about all my nicknames...and one about defeating Anorexia..I think they were pretty good</p>

<p>I Interviewed, took a History class, and toured...so I went up three times in total....</p>

<p>Any hope for me?</p>

<p>Colby goes entirely by rank, test scores, and ECs, but not GPA in determining admittance</p>

<p>You just missed top 10% at your school (62% of Colby’s enrollees are in the top 10%) and are at top 12%. However, your ACT score puts you in the top 40% of those enrolled, and you’ve taken a challenging courseload. Your ECs are quite impressive–and you’ve taken a course at the school (in your major) and showed your obvious interest in the school by going there three times and applying Early Decision.</p>

<p>I’d say you should be admitted based upon all of this. It is possible they could defer you to the regular admission pool or waitlist you–but I find both of these options unlikely.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
