<p>I go to a really small private religious school on a scholarship because of my learning/anxiety disorders. My school has mostly honors and no APs, but I convinced my counselor to let me take AP Calculus BC and AP Lang online .</p>

<p>My schools: (no specific order)
Duke (ED)
Vanderbilt
University of Pennsylvania
University of Florida
University of Central Florida
Florida State University
Northwestern University
University of Southern California
Wake Forest University
Johns Hopkins University
Emory University</p>

2

<p>Duke/Duke-tier schools: low reach (decent scores, URM, QB) especially ED</p>

3

<p>Duke low reach
Vanderbilt high match
University of Pennsylvania reach
University of Florida match
University of Central Florida safety?
Florida State University safety?
Northwestern University low reach
University of Southern California match
Wake Forest University high match
Johns Hopkins University high match
Emory University match </p>

<p>Maybe if you don’t get into the summer program, you can get a job or an internship. Just a thought. And also try to take some more AP classes next year. Good luck!</p>
