So, Hamilton is essentially everything I want in a college, (gorgeous location, open curriculum, nice facilities, reputation, alligator pit, etc. and the school is founded by the biggest financial badas* ever. HE IS THE MAN!) so I was wondering what my chances are? (Oh yeah, and my interview seemed to go quite well.)

White Male
Public School in VT which has sent kids to Harvard, Penn, Yale, Stanford, Dartmouth, Cornell, Wesleyan, Middlebury, Carleton, etc. in the years I’ve been here.
2/240 class rank (our valedictorian is brilliant)
4.08/4.33 unweighted (having taken the hardest classes)
SAT reasoning (from a single test date) CR-700 Writing-720 Math-780 (Comp 2200)
SAT 2’s Math2- 800 US history-770
AP stats and US history scores both 5’s (I’m now taking four more APs)
ECs:
9-12 Math League (President)
9-12 Student council (officer)
10-12 MUN (I’ve won numerous awards and gone overseas)
11-12 NHS-I’ve tutored kids to boost our school’s standardized test scores
11-12 Varsity Tennis
11-12 Scholars’ Bowl
I also work as a pharmacy technician
Awards:
MUN awards, RPI $60,000 scholarship, History awards, national Merit finalist (probably, because I scored in the 99th percentile)
Miscellaneous:
Did a summer course at Brown U. and also did Green Mt. Boy’s State

As for my essay/ recs, I guess they’re good; I don’t really have a frame of reference.

Thank you for your time and help.
