<p>I want to say good luck to you on your college search! A couple more things:</p>
<p>Don’t sell yourself short because of your test scores - do study, and, take as many practice tests as you can to get a feel of the timing & type of questions that are asked. </p>
<p>If you don’t apply you most certainly won’t get in. So, if HMC is still your dream school after some thought and you can afford to - apply!! They won’t take you if they think you can’t do the work. </p>
<p>If you come to visit HMC, check out the other 3/4 Claremont Colleges (Scripps is women only and I don’t know your gender, but you did apply to FAST) Maybe one of those schools will feel right too, you can always take a few of your classes at Mudd if you want to dabble in the sciences.</p>
<p>Do as much college research as you can for schools with similar outlooks as Mudd. I bet there are more than you think that might strike your fancy. </p>
<p>A few more colleges:
Case Western Reserve
Union College
Reed
–Also, some liberal arts colleges do something called a 3/2 for engineering. 3 years at their college and then two years at a college with an engineering dept. to finish their degree. Check out this description on the Whitman College website:
