My high school is actually not even listed in any of the lists ( ETS , SAT, CommonApp). Extracurricular opportunities were quite limited. Although I’ve not mentioned anything about this in my app, would the committees notice this? I’m currently in my gap year and have a good story around it, so my essays are quite good. Suggestions?
