<p>Let's cut to the chase:
I'm a rising senior. I go to the top private high school in Missouri, which is also in the top 5 in the US. Obviously, it is extremely hard to even get accepted to my high school, and all of the courses are extremely challenging (our lowest level classes are the equivalent to another school's AP classes). Because the school is so demanding, a student with above a 2.9 would be considered in the top 50% of the class.<br>
As of now I have a 3.1 GPA (the killer).
Male- white
ACT -30
English: 35
Reading: 35
Math: 28
Science: 28
Writing: 10
superstore -32</p>
<p>I have tons of extracurricular activities. I've been president of various school clubs, and have been a member of more clubs. I've lettered in a couple sports. I have a bunch of community service hours. And I've had a job for 5 years.</p>
<p>I am a very good writer, and my essay is phenomenal. I've also gotten some very good teacher recommendations.</p>
<p>I don't know how far my school's reputation goes outside of Missouri. The only college I know of that is aware of my school's rigor, and thus accepts students with a lower GPA, is Boston college. So I am hoping that you guys can give me some feedback on these schools that I am aplying to, and even give me suggestions on schools that would be a good fit for my stats! Btw, I do have some backup schools.</p>
