<p>hey there! i applied early decision 1 and was accepted. we have very similar stats. i think you have great extra curriculars and test scores, which go really far. your gpa seems to be average for hamilton, but all the same, on the mark.
i think you have a very strong chance of being admitted. i would recommend having an interview, which may be difficult if you live in CA, but it’s a very important factor for hamilton.
best wishes, and again, i think you have a good shot</p>
