<p>I also have never responded to a chance thread, as I don’t know why I would be qualifed to judge. I would suggest looking at the stats in the accepted RD thread from last year, linked below. It is amazing how so many super students were denied or waitlisted, but pay special attention to the post by HC Alum, talking about how above a certain academic threshold the committee is trying to build a class with certain characteristics. Taking that into consideration, I would suggest really emphasizing the EC’s that make you special…how can you stand out as someone who will contribute something special to the class beyond academics? Maybe take a look at how your guitar could fit into the music scene there and consider sending in a recording of your playing as an arts supplement.</p>
