<p>Hello, my name is Lucas and I'm currently a Junior at a Catholic High School in Hendersonville Tennessee and I'm not sure where I want to go to college yet, but i was looking into a double major in History or Economics and Political Science. So far, I've looked at Vanderbilt, UVA, Georgetown, GWU, USC-Berkly, Wooster, Centre College, and thats it really... basically I want to know what people think my chances are of getting into any of those schools, and possibly any other good schools (maybe Ivy League) for the majors I'm interested... so here goes nothing.</p>
<p>Ethnicity: Hispanic</p>
<p>GPA: About a 3.65/3.9- unweighted/weighted</p>
<p>Class Rank: Precise numerical rank is unreleased, but will graduate in top 10%</p>
<p>AP's: (College Counselor informed i have the highest strength of schedule possible for our school)
Sophomore- AP Euro (4);
This year: APUSH, AP English Language, AP Psychology,
Next year: AP Gov, AP Econ (Macro and Micro), AP English lit, and probably AP Environmental science (to get 4 years of science)
I've also taken 3 years of Latin, and all my other classes are advanced if possible.
I'll graduate as an AP scholar for sure</p>
<p>ACT: 31, I'm planning on taking it one more time to try and get a 32-33
SAT: never taken, and i had the Flu during the PSAT so I missed the day to take it</p>
<p>Sports: Football for 4 years, will most likely be elected Captain for next year, and Track and Field</p>

- Member of "Socieatas," prestigious teacher-selected organization at our school designed to be ambassadors for the school, help out teachers during the day, and help freshmen get adjusted to high school. Your only eligible for it your junior year, and once chosen your own it till you graduate. Traditionally, we're not allowed to be on it and run for student council at the same time, but I've received special permission from faculty advisors of both groups to be allowed to do so.

- Will have completed over 160 hours of community service by senior year, also I raised a couple thousand dollars through selling an organization's t-shirts and wristbands to help buy water for African children. Later this year, me and my friend plan to raise around 100-300 desks by asking all of the private schools in Middle Tennessee to donate 5-10 desks, and then asking CEO's in Nashville to help cover the shipping costs to the organization</p>
<ul>
<li>Letters of Recommendation, I've already talked to 2 teachers (English and History) who have graduated from Duke/Vanderbilt and love me to write letters for me. Also, the college counselor who has to write one for every student is in charge of the Socieatas group I'm in, so he knows me very well (compared to the other 200 juniors at least) and will write me a great letter.</li>
</ul>
<p>Well, i guess thats all... Let me know what you think my chances are and colleges I should consider looking into. Thanks!!</p>
