Colleges and Universities A-Z Mount Holyoke College

<p>Hello,
This is actually my first post :). I applied RD to all of my colleges, so right now I'm in the excruciating "waiting period"; perhaps a little speculation will make me feel better... At any rate, here are my stats:</p>

<p>4.0 GPA (UW)
2340 SAT (800 CR, 790 Math, 750 Writing)
35-36 ACT (two different tests--I sent both b/c my essay score on the 36 was terrible)
2 APs, both this year (I only had the opportunity to take one more)
5-6 honors courses, depending on what they count (once again, only had the opportunity to take one more)
National Merit Finalist</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Ballet (last 5 years)
Environmental Club: treasurer sophomore year; raised money to go on service trip to Mexico last year--worked with sea turtle conservation biologists
International Club: treasurer last year; went to Model UN last spring & am going to Model UN again this year
Human Rights Club: member since last year; this year president
City Human Rights Commission: first high school student appointed to a city commission (last spring); currently secretary
National Honor Society member</p>

<p>Am I a good candidate for Mount Holyoke? Most of the other colleges that I applied to are more difficult to get into, so I'm hoping that I'll be in the upper portion of the applicant pool here. What do you think?</p>

<p>Thanks, both of you. That makes me feel a little more secure about the future :). Even if I don't make it at any of my other colleges, I can definitely see myself at Mt. Holyoke--I felt very comfortable when I visited this fall.</p>

<p>It's a great school; I'm sure they'd be lucky to have you! =D</p>

<p>NO CHANCE! Try community college.</p>
