Competitive

A student with an unweighted GPA of 3.9–4.0 and an ACT of 31–33 applying to Hamilton College is in the Competitive range. Hamilton College admits 12% of applicants, and the middle half of enrolled students submitted ACT scores of 32 to 35. At this band the estimate is about 8 in 100.

34% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score, 17% an ACT — these ranges describe students who submitted, not the whole class.

For this band, the estimate reads the middle of the band, an unweighted GPA of 3.95 and an ACT of 32, so a student's own numbers can land differently. It also weighs only the numbers; essays, activities and course rigor count too.
