Where else did you apply to?

I applied to Colby, Bowdoin, Hamilton, Middlebury, Amherst, and Williams. I was wait-listed at Amherst, rejected at Williams and accepted everywhere else. I am going to attend Bowdoin. I have tons of EC’s (I hold an office or leadership position in almost all of them), am involved in sports, valedictorian of my class, and scored high on the ACT. Some foreign research trips and good essays also helped me gain admission.

But the admissions at these colleges are crazy; some are rejected at Colby, but accepted at Amherst, wait-listed at Hamilton but accepted at Bowdoin. The colleges like Midd really look for specific people and try to create a class. If you don’t fit the mold, then you’re wait-listed or outright rejected.

Good luck in your application process next year!
