<p>You do have better stand-out factors than I do, and I got into Wellesley. I'd say you're pretty strong for all 3 colleges.</p>

<p>What's the metropolitan paper you column for? Also, what is the national award that you won for writing?</p>

<p>I'm a journalism junkie myself, xD so I'm just wondering.</p>

<p>When you apply, Just make sure that your essays give you personality</p>

<p>Very good shot at all. Might want to add Mt Holyoke. They have a very good Leadership merit scholarship. They offered my D $100K.</p>

<p>Thanks so much for the feedback!</p>

<p>Thanks Bandit, I'll check Mt Holyoke out. </p>

<p>Tami, disclosing the awards would basically reveal my name...so I'd rather not specify.</p>

<p>And yes, Sozo, I will work on those essays.</p>

<p>Thanks again.</p>

<p>Maybe Wellesley will need a slightly higher ACT, but the others should be no problem with your stats.</p>

<p>Be sure to visit the schools (if you can). They each have very different personalities, as my D discovered.</p>

<p>What about Barnard? Did you take SATs?</p>

<p>I think these schools factor interviews into the mix.</p>

<p>Thanks, I'm going to visit all of the schools.</p>
