<p>If you raise your SAT scores to 2150+, you’re pretty much in at all of your choices. Legit. So this summer, study HARD and get that score man. </p>

<p>Chance back?</p>

<p>Wow, thanks.</p>

<p>Your curriculum lacks rigor so Cornell is a no, probably.</p>

<p>None of the shools on your list old be considered to except Cornell. Why all of the out of state publics? Being AA is not a hook at most publics. Can you afford to be full pay at those? Are you looking for aid in general?</p>

<p>Being home schooled and second generation are also not hooks. You will need to take many AP/SATll tests as a Home schooler to make colleges comfortable with your GPA.</p>

<p>I have a bunch of OOS schools because I want to study meteorology. The only school in Georgia that offers that is Georgia Tech, which is hard to get into, and I really don’t want to go there. My parents have lots of money saved up, so I shouldn’t need much aid. If I get even a part time job in college, my parents and I can cover full-pay.</p>

<p>I plan on taking 3-4 SAT II’s this summer (Math 1&2, Chemistry, and maybe Bio). I am planning on doing DE to help out as well.</p>

<p>You need outside verification. I’m glad you are taking the SAT II’s this summer. A lot may depend on those. For those reading this thread, you need to make sure that you do some dual credit, SAT II or AP exams 9th-11th. That is what colleges will see. Don’t wait to sign up for some of those your senior year.</p>

<p>I’m a homeschool mom. The big problem you have is how to verify your grades. Your 32 is pretty good. Here is a link to scholarships at OU. I don’t have time to look through it to see what you will be eligible for.</p>
