“My SATs were 1300, ACT 28Sep 23 2005Journalism
My SATs were 1300, ACT 28. I wrote a good essay, had a 3.5 in HS (upward trend from D's freshman year.. so 3 years of straight A's), many excellent extracurriculars and internships. Played sports and sent them everything I could think of. Visited twice, had an interview, got an almost free ride off merit scholarships and grants MHC gave me.

“I really wanted to go hereSep 20 2005Biology
I really wanted to go here. REALLY bad. I did everything. It's a pretty tough process. You should interview, write a SOLID essay, and keep very good contact with the admissions office. Making MHC know you want to go here is KEY.
