Good luck to all these SLAC kids - it's so competitive!
Sounds like a slam dunk, but I guess you never really know. Good luck!

ED 1 to Middlebury
GPA 4.1 weighted (took most rigorous courses available, got mostly As but there are a few Bs, most in 9th/10th
36 ACT
strong involvement in extracurriculars with leadership at school level
NMSF
Male
unhooked
full pay
I have no idea what to expect. Would feel more confident if had all As.

(Intro)
I am not throwin’ away my shot!
I am not throwin’ away my shot!
Hey yo, I’m just like my essay — wordy, witty, over-thought,
And I’m not throwin’ away my shot!
I’m applyin’ early, might be crazy, but it’s strategy,
Tryna join the herd of purple cows, defyin’ gravity.
No legacy, no coach to vouch for me, no varsity,
But I’m hopin’ ED1 can give me scarcity’s prosperity!
I got my recs, I got my scores, I got my essay drafts galore,
Talkin’ ‘bout that liberal core, that learning-for-life folklore.
Common App, it’s war —
The portal’s gonna blow when I click submit once more!
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m dreamin’ ‘bout the Berkshires,
‘Bout the snow and all those lectures,
All those art and econ majors,
I’m-a join ‘em if they’ll take us!
(Chorus)
I am not throwin’ away my shot!
No, I’m not throwin’ away my shot!
Hey yo, ED boosts the odds — I might as well take that shot,
And I’m not throwin’ away my shot!
(Bridge)
It’s tough when you ain’t got that hook,
No coach who can get you in with just one look.
They say “fit matters,” well I wrote a book,
On why I’d thrive on Spring Street — take a look!
Financial aid? It’s need-blind, that’s kind,
But stats online? Make me lose my mind —
“Acceptance rate: like 7.9,”
But ED’s lookin’ closer to twenty-nine… (ish!)
Every night I grind through edits on my personal statement,
Writing ‘bout identity, anxiety, displacement.
Got my counselor sayin’, “Kid, don’t fake it —
Williams wants real reflection, don’t overstate it.”
So I’m crafting lines like “curiosity’s my art,”
And I’m praying that admissions folks can feel it in their hearts.
I’m nervous, but I’m earnest — that’s my liberal arts start,
If they take me, I’ll be Eph forever, playin’ my part!
(Final Chorus)
I am not throwin’ away my shot!
No, I’m not throwin’ away my shot!
Hey yo, I’m just like my essay — wordy, witty, over-thought,
And I’m not throwin’ away my shot!
We’re gonna rise up! (Rise up!)
It’s ED time, sign up! (Sign up!)
We’re gonna find out, December lines up —
Decision day — please light my luck up!
(Outro)
I imagine myself in the Quad, the morning snow’s soft,
Admissions said “Congrats!” — I’m lost,
But proud — I took the shot I got —
‘Cause I am not throwin’ away my shot!
Amazing what AI can do with the right prompts.
