<p>Basically, everything on this forum gets me down. I am not exceptionally strong in extracurriculars. I do band (I'm a section leader for the flutes and play alto saxophone in Jazz 2 [non-audition]) and I tutor as a volunteer.</p>
<p>I am pretty good academically (I thought) because I take advanced classes (at another campus because my home high school doesn't offer them) and get A's and B's. </p>
<p>I got a 34 on my ACT with an 8 on writing. I have 5's on AP Calc AB+BC, Lang, Psychology; 4's on AP Chem+Physics B; 3 on APUSH. I'm taking US Gov, macroecon, bio, stat, and lit next year, hopefully getting 4's and 5's again. </p>
<p>I plan on applying to Oberlin College, Macalester, Grinnell, and Yale with Iowa State University as my back-up. I would appreciate it if you guys would chance me, even though I'm not up to the par of some of these CC-ers.</p>
