Hindoo, one of the reasons I want to go to Kenyon is its campus! I haven’t seen it in person (can’t afford a plane ticket to Ohio at the moment), but I’ve seen photographs.

Cpt of the house, I think I am an average applicant to Kenyon, so one of the reasons I wanted to apply ED is so I would have a better chance of getting in.

Here’s my stats:
4.6 weighted, 4.0 unweighted GPA.
I’ve taken all but 2 honors/AP classes offered to me.
SAT I: 2010 (rather low), SAT IIs: 670, 660 (rather low, again).
President of Photo Club, Historian of NHS, Youth Representative at my church
Played sports first 2 years of HS, but wasn’t very good
I’m taking Calculus at the local community college over the summer
Volunteer a bit through library and church
Top 10% of class
Have won many photo and academic awards

So, I’m not exactly a stand out applicant, but I do see what you’re saying about the financial aid thing. I’m just worried that if I apply RD, I won’t get in!

Thanks for replying everyone!
