Agree...your chances are very good.

Rhkid005: How was your overnight visit to Haverford? Most students left for fall break at the end of classes on Friday...with the exception of some students who are not from the east coast. That afternoon, D went to catch the train to NJ to visit a friend from high school...met up with several Haverford classmates at the station...one that she had met the 1st week and who was going home to Trenton. Thanks to him, she was able to make the transfers without a hitch! Her Haverford SRP drove up to Princeton to visit his grandmother...he and D connected over lunch today...introduced him to her friend...then D caught the train back to PA. On Tuesday, she and suitemate are invited to dinner at the home of a classmate from across the hall who lives within 20 min of Haverford. It is such a close and supportive community...as D describes it..."Haverford is AMAZING!" Best of luck to you!
