<p>International Baccalaureate student with 2 AP classes as well. (IB considered "most rigorous") </p>
<p>White, but a US - German dual citizen.</p>
<p>From Nebraska (only a small number of students applying from the area might help?)

UTexas at Austin
UNebraska - Lincoln (already accepted, safety)

<p>Georgetown U SMALL CHANCE
George Washington U IN
NYU IN
UChicago SMALL CHANCE

<p>Might look at Duke as a top school-great campus, nice weather, and top academics. Also might look at Holy Cross- very good school 1 hour from Boston. Holy Cross seeks geographic diversity like Nebraska and has good financial aid. The Holy Cross political alumni network includes 1 Supreme Court Justice, 1 Senator, 4 Congressmen, Chris Matthews, and Obama’s chief speech writer.</p>
