Nervous! Haverford ED Please chance me!!

<p>Okay, here is the deal. </p>

<p>GPA : 3.0 </p>

<p>ACT: 31 (without calculator, retaking soon)</p>

<p>Class Rank: top 20% </p>

<p>Essay: Teacher told me my supplement was the best she has ever written. </p>

<p>Applying Early Decision </p>

<p>Volunteered at Blind Camp, Worked at Tennis camp where i was a tutor and coach for underprivileged inner city kids </p>

<p>Interview: I had an amazing Interview, we had similar music taste, we were recommending each other bands and books by the end. We still email every once in a while </p>

<p>Grades: I had undiagnosed ADD freshman year (i heard an addendum would help) and my grades plummeted, since then i have taken the hardest and most difficult schedule possible. AP's: Bio, World, Chem, Eng Lang, Physics, Calc, EnviSci, US, Psych. </p>

<p>VP of Government Club at School </p>

<p>Key Club Member</p>

<p>Legacy: Great-Grandfather (also has Honorary Doctorate) Great Uncle, Grandfather, Uncle, and 2 Cousins. </p>

<p>Grandmother is Professor at Bryn Mawr </p>

<p>Great-Grandfather and Great Uncle both were on the Board of the school </p>

<p>I am also Quaker, and my Great-Grandfather also was a founder of the Friends Association for Higher Education, and Haverford being Quaker was very connected to this, He spoke at the 25th anniversary of the FEHA, which was at Haverford. </p>

<p>What are my chances of getting in, and would writing an addendum help explain my low GPA that doesnt correlate with the rest of my Application. My GPA is the only thing holding me back, i will hopefully be above there ACT range once i retake the test with a calculator. </p>

<p>My Guidance counselor, friends and family are all reassuring that i will certainty be accepted</p>

<p>WHAT DO YOU THINK.</p>

<p>17 people viewed this and didn’t say anything :frowning: </p>

<p>I’m really stressing about this and want some people’s opinions. </p>

<p>I sincerely ask for your help. </p>

<p>and for more information </p>

<p>ACT : Ovr: 31
eng-33
math-25 (forgot calculator, reason why i am retaking)
reading-34
science-31 (can also improve)
Combined eng/writing: 34, essay: 12</p>

<p>With a 3.0, honestly, Haverford is close to impossible. It’s unfortunate, but Haverford is really tough to get into. I doubt I’ll be able to with a 3.6.</p>

<p>The only thing i have to say to that is to not simply weigh admittance on GPA </p>

<p>Hopefully, the rest of my application can outweigh the one smudge. </p>

<p>Thank you so much for the response!
Good look getting in yourself!</p>

<p>Any other opinions? and does anyone know the importance of legacy at haverford or LAC in general? i have been told i have an impressive legacy but i want to know how much that can really help me </p>

<p>thanks again</p>

<p>Your GPA will absolutely destroy your chances. Sorry.</p>

<p>thanks for your input.</p>
