should I apply if I'm bad at writing?

There are a few answers to that question. First off, there are few white collar careers that don’t involve some form of writing or presentation if you want to advance at all. Even STEM majors have to make presentations and write reports in the real world, so I’d highly advise you master the skill. You don’t have to love it, but you do need to learn to tolerate it.

Hamilton would be very good at helping you master the skill. If you love everything else about the school, I’d consider applying, but before you accept their offer, if you get one, know what they ask as far as writing goes, or you may have a less than ideal time. Other colleges may let you dodge the writing stuff a little more easily, but doing that won’t serve you well and you’ll still have to take some no matter where you go.
