<p>It always makes me laugh when students with obviously very high grades and many EC’s and honors ask others to chance them. Of course, you’re qualified. Duh. The question really is, however, are you a good fit? Because with Haverford, probably more than most other colleges, it’s a really important factor. It’s a very small, tight-knit community, which is very much dedicated to the Honor Code. I find the students there to be of a very high caliber, but they are also a different type of student than you will find elsewhere. So yes, you are a good fit academically, but you may or may not be a good fit in personality and other measures.</p>
