I am considering applying RD for College of the Holy Cross and was wondering if I could get any input on whether or not I have a shot at getting in. I toured the school over the summer and had an interview that I felt went pretty well. I would also be a third-generation legacy student since both my father and grandfather attended. I am a prospective biochemistry major and currently go to a public high school in New Hampshire.

Here are my stats…
-GPA (my school only does weighted): 4.11
-Class Rank: 28 out of 241
-SAT: 1380
-ACT (not planning on submitting): 30
-SAT Subject Molecular Bio: 710
-I have taken majority honors classes in the past four years and have taken 5 AP Classes in total (Comp Sci, Bio, Environmental, Chem, and Physics)

And here are some of my extracurriculars…

Part-time job: Worked at a grocery store my sophomore and junior year and as a restaurant hostess senior year

School Newspaper (10,11)

Marine Science Team (Team Captain position held Junior & Senior yr) (10,11,12)
-Science Olympiad (11,12)
-Yearbook Club (10,11,12)
-Senior year internship in an AP Biology class (similar to a TA position) (12)
-Model United Nations (11,12)
-Volunteer at local library with technology help (10)
-Science National Honors Society (11,12)

I have stayed on the high honor roll for all four years of high school and have three recommendation letters (one is from my guidance counselor and I have two strong letters from teachers I have recently had).

Thanks for the help!
