<p>I was wondering if theres any Ivy that you think would admit me, taking my situation in consideration (Yale is my dream school):</p>
<p>ACT: 26 (This is what's killing me!)</p>
<p>GPA: 4.25
I've taken the most rigorous course load my school allows.</p>
<p>I was borne in Puerto Rico, and lived there until I was 16. I decided to move to Houston, TX to get a better education that could prepare me for a good college. Freshmen and sophomore years I was the top student in my class, but it was a class of 40 people. Now here in Houston Im in a class of 800 and since in Puerto Rico I couldnt get higher than a 4.0 in my GPA because none of the schools offer like AP classes, that is holding me back in my class rank. That doesnt mean that the classes were good or not, its just that everyone in my school had to take the same classes, it was like a fixed schedule for everyone. Also, in the school in PR there werent any clubs or extracurricular, so I guess thats not good. But here in Texas I joined the national honor society, and a research group called Amateur Spaceflight Association. (we are building a rocket to send it to space, its incredibly amazing!!) Ive been trying to practice for the standardized testing, but it is so hard for me the whole timed test, because even though I can speak and understand English really well, its still really hard for me to accomplish the entire test in so little time. I moved to Houston by myself and live with my aunt and uncle, so I guess that could be impressive, how I left my family behind to achieve my goals </p>
<p>My next school year's curriculum is going to be:
AP European History
AP Comparative Government & U.S. Government
AP Macro & Microeconomics
English 4 Honors
Pre-AP Pre-calculus
Pre-AP Physics
Chinese I </p>
<p>Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.</p>
