Most difficult class load a school of 250 can offer, minus physics, didn't think I'd need it in life.
1st semester senior year I will spend in Springfield, Illinois as a political intern with the Illinois Governmental Internship Program, involved application with two essays, then an interview/writing exercise.
Junior year student council and Junior class president.
Attended various leadership conferences such as National Young Leaders Conference, Global Young Leaders Conference, and Presidential Youth Inaugural Conference all in D.C. and NYC.</p>
<p>As you can see, I'm not the gold standard of high school grads, but I think I put up a fairly strong case.</p>
<p>Political Science Major</p>
<p>I'll apply to:
Columbia (Huge reach in my opinion)
Georgetown (Guidance counselor likes my chances, I'm skeptical)
Northwestern (Best Midwestern university, and I'm not in to WashU)
Washington & Lee (probably only a slight reach, but I love the civil war)
Davidson (My ACTs are spot on, my SATs... well that could present a problem.)</p>
<p>The rest of the school's I envision applying to are in Illinois, and I'm sure I'll get in, but do I have a shot with those?</p>
