As far as I'm concerned, getting accepted at Bennington is more about fit than anything else so one can't really say based on your stats if you'll get in. However, the fact that you are showing so much enthusiasm should play well.

I also imagine that Bennington would want all the men they can get seeing as the ratio is so askew so I guess that will also help you.

Your statistics fall in the middle range for Bennington, but being a guy does help. If you love the school, and let that be known to them, you should have a really good chance. I assume you felt the interview went well? Good luck!

The interview was interesting...It really wasn't as much of an interview as it was me and the girl (a student) just having a conversation about like my interests and stuff, which I really liked, but at the same time, I don't feel like she got a feel for me academically...
But maybe that's not so much what they're interested in? I did show immense interest in my opinion...

After they get your transcripts, and they know you are serious, they will call you for a phone interview, or have you meet with someone in your area, assuming you can't go back up to VT. The first interview is, I think, more for you to get a sense of the school. During that phone interview they will usually ask you about some of the things you have written about in your essays.
