<p>Thanks for the response. finally atleast some relief from all the college app. stress.</p>

<p>Anyone else care to evaluate my chances?</p>

<p>I can't agree that Hampshire is a safe match. I would definitely not give your SAT scores to Hampshire, as they are particularly interested in your reading and writing scores which, for you, are well below their averages. Also, Hampshire is getting MANY more applications than they have in the past. Historically they have had two periods of admission, Fall and Spring, but they have had to completely close the Spring semester of '07 due to too many applicants (I guess many more people enrolled in the Fall than they expected) and they are urging all those potentials to apply for the Fall.</p>

<p>blahblah123-your lack of EC's (unless there are other things you have not mentioned, writing projects perhaps?) will also hurt you at Hampshire. They want bright, motivated students who may not have clicked within the walls of the typical High School experience, but who, when given free time, will build upon their passions to do, or create, something. The stereotype of the slacker going to Hampshire is a false one, in fact, just the opposite is true, Hampshire students have to be able to create something out of nothing, to work hard even without an external structure telling him/her what to do.</p>
