<p>You'll be good for MTU, Vassar, & Skidmore.</p>

<p>Stanford & Brown would be the most difficult, while your chances at Pomona & McKenna are decent.</p>

3

<p>SATs need to come up a bit for some of these schools. Being from Mn is a plus.</p>

4

<p>Hey, It looks like you have a good chance, especially if you get that ACT up! I'm going to say 50/50 chance at getting in, hopefully your essays and interview will tip the scale!</p>

<p>I'm applying ED in 2008, so maybe i'll see you there?</p>

5

<p>In case you are interested, the average SAT CR/M scores at Pomona College are 730/730.</p>

6

<p>send ACT, not SAT... but its probably too late for that</p>

7

<p>she's a junior, so its probably not</p>

<p>This will work for you at Pomona:</p>

<p>We are currently trying to develop our dive team, so if you can get recruited for that (not too too hard as the program is nascent) you should have an even better shot at admission.</p>
