I posted this under I different forum but I am not sure if anybody saw it so I am doing this just in case.
Kenyon College is my dream school, but I also love Whitman College. I would be one happy camper at either of these institutions. I apply this fall, and with only a few months left before I send in my applications, I want to know if there is anything I can still do to up my chances or at least leave me feeling I did everything I could. Your feedback would be much appreciated!
