<p>I come from a small, rural high school, and I've never gotten any proper education on this, so I'm really confused about my chances, whether i should apply, etc.</p>
<p>What are my chances for Brown, Pomona, Rice, Yale, Uchicago, maybe some others? I've done some research, and those seem to be the best schools for me.</p>
<p>ACT: Second time a 30 (just took again, will be atleast 31 or 32. Will take one more time w/ writing, realistically guessing a 32-33.)
SAT: Did not take</p>
<p>Top 5% of class, i think 6/160 or something similiar. Small rural public (missouri)</p>
<p>Our school does not do AP classes, like most of MO, but I have taken the hardest course load I can, with the equivalent of 39 college credit hours (13 courses) through a community college and private college</p>
<p>Varsity track since freshman, 2 time all district
JV/Varsity football 2 years
Varsity soccer 2 years
Academic Letterman
Homecoming Attendant
50+hours elementary mentor
Part time job at movie theater, 3 years</p>
<p>I'm sure there's others, but nothing really worth listing. I know EC's are weak :(
Caucausian
Hook: First generation, small missouri town?</p>
<p>Letters of recommendation will be good and very personal, and I have started very early and have good ideas on my essays so I hope that helps.</p>
<p>Any advice on things to do for senior year? I don't want to look desperate, but would like something good to boost my application. What are my chances, realistically?</p>
