Is applying to Haverford just a waste? Please be honest.

Kleenexbox, go for it. If you can raise your SAT score to 1400 and obtain strong recs, you should be competitive. Have you visited Haverford? It is a small but great LAC outside of Philly with close connections to Bryn Mawr and also Swarthmore. Think through the Honor Code essay...it is evident in every aspect of the college. We are from L.A. and D is a 1st yr. Best of luck!

(By the way, mid-terms are or about to happen at Haverford...perhaps that is why the boards are so quiet.)

Midterms already? When did haverford start? At colgate we're only in the third week or so.

And Kleenexbox: I don't think anything about your stats discounts you. So if you like it, I say go for it.
