<p>I think that I want to apply to Kenyon, but I wanted to see if you guys think I can get in?</p>
<h2>HELP! THANK YOU ALL! Here is my resume!</h2>
<p>I’m a Jewish male from a small private school in Boston.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.7
ACT score: 31 (I am only submitting ACT because that is all that is required)
-I also took the highest courses my school offered.</p>
<p>Extra-curriculars, etc.:
-Editor-in-chief of literary Magazine
-Co-founder and editor-in-chief of school’s first student run newspaper.
-Drama officer (meaning one of 3 student leaders in the drama department)
Varsity tennis all four years including two awards (Coaches Award, and most improved)
four years involved in, and Vice President of, the Mock Trial team.
English Department award Junior year (one of the highest awards my school gives out)</p>
<p>Outside of school:
I teach kindergarten at my temple.
I am also quite involved in social action (volunteering etc.) at my temple, and attend classes once a week there.</p>
<ul>
<li>I am head of the Massachusetts branch for a grassroots campaign organization supporting Barack Obama.</li>
</ul>
<p>hey, we have similar stats. i also have a 3.7 (unweighted), and our test scores and ECs seem similar. i have been told that i have a very good chance at kenyon. so i would assume that you also do.</p>
<p>I would also think you would have a very good chance at Kenyon. I have heard that in the application the essays are very important, so, assuming you can do a good job with those, your chances would be good.</p>
<p>I will say though that the last few years the selectivity has increased tremendously, and with a 28% acceptance rate this past year (and it may well go down this upcoming year) there are no guaranees. Good luck.</p>
<p>If you have lots of money to burn and don’t care about getting a scholarship, then it should be fine. Your ECs are stronger than I thought at first glance. Just make a visit out to Kenyon, write strong essays and you should be in.</p>
