Saint Michael's College is a private, residential, liberal arts Catholic college. The campus is located in Colchester, Vermont. The college is adjacent to Burlington, a popular college town and cultural center in Vermont. Saint Michael's College was founded in 1904 by the Society of Saint Edmund, a French order of Catholic priests. The main campus is on a hill that provides views of the Green Mountains to the east and the Adirondack Mountains of New York to the west. The mission of the college is "to contribute through higher education to the enhancement of the human person and to the advancement of human culture in the light of the Catholic faith."
In 1889, priests from the Society of Saint Edmund fled to the United States after widespread anticlericism seized France. In 1904, they opened Saint Michael's Institute with an initial investment of $5,000. Thirty-four students aged 10 to 22 enrolled, with a tuition and board fee of $105. Slowly, the school discontinued its high school program. Gradually, the school transitioned from an academy with old military barracks as dormitories to a traditional residential college. In 1939, graduate programs were offered for the first time. Saint Michael’s Playhouse was opened in 1947, bringing professional summer theater to Vermont and giving students the chance to work behind the scenes.
Before the 1950s, classes at Saint Michael's were small, just a few dozen Michaelmen in any accepted class. In the 1950s, President Gerald Dupont SSE led the college as it expanded to hundreds of students per class. The College also began an ambitious building program which established the architectural style which permeates the College today.
Saint Michael's Applied Linguistics Department was started in 1954, focussing on teaching English to students from around the world. In 2003, Harold Bloom, a leading literary scholar, announced his plans to donate his personal library to the College, and an anonymous donor granted the money to build the Dupont Library to house the collection. In 2004, Saint Michael's celebrated its centenary in an 18-month-long series of events including special lectures, musical performances, and convocations. The college has been co-educational since 1970.

Its worth a try... I guess that you might be able to... I already got in with a scholarship, but I didn't feel that it was the right choice for me though... although it is very pretty!
My answer is that you might be on the hedge, but your extra curricular activities might pull you through into that admitted status.
