<p>awh Dude- Your application has a lot of merit. In addition, you’re from Tx, you’re a guy and also a Quaker. Those will all work in your favor. However, given what was written in the NYT series and in my experience, “you have a good shot” is all anyone can truthfully say. The good thing is that HC looks well beyond GPA and scores… makes admissions less predictable but, at the same time, you can be sure that, if you go to HC, your classmates will be very accomplished and with a diversity of interesting life experiences.</p>
