<p>I am applying to Carleton RD, but it is my second choice school. Since it is a BIG stretch for me, what can I do to improve my chances? my grades are great for my first semester (4.16 UW 4.83 W improved from 3.8 UW 4.1W), but I’m not sure that’s enough. How can I improve my chances? Preferably without lying- that never sits well with me. Carleton is my second choice, but I know I would LOVE being accepted there, and prospects aren’t looking too good for my first choice (deferred ED)</p>
<p>What are your extracurricular activities?</p>
<p>i have some good ones: 4 yrs f-hock and lax, PTPI chapter, safe rides, piano, guitar</p>
<p>i also took summer trips to UCSD where I took an ethics class, and to Kenya where I participated in a homestay in a village and helped build a computer lab there.</p>
