<p>I am Valedictorian, 3.9 GPA (the only slip-up was a b in english I (with A's in 2,3,4) and a b in P.E. 94-100 is an A scale.</p>
<p>I have a 31 on the ACT Plus Writing with a 33 English, 34 Reading,26 Math, and 30 Science.</p>
<p>I joined the soccer team but my school cancelled it due to budget cuts before we could even have a practice.</p>
<p>My school is pretty small so being ranked 1/44 I know doesn't help my application stand out. I'm from Louisiana also and I don't know if that helps or hurts me.</p>
<p>I'm also taking the hardest classes possible at my school, which doesn't offer either AP or Honors courses. I'm taking two Dual Enrollment Classes, Algebra 3 and English IV D.E and also taking Physics. We don't have Calculus or Pre-Calculus here so I will take that later.</p>
<p>Algebra 3 D.E. counts as Math 100, 101, and 112 in College credit, and English IV D.E. counts as English IV highschool, English 101, 102 College credit.</p>
<p>I'd like to go to a good school, preferably up North. I've applied to Tulane and LSU's Honors College.</p>
<p>If I can't get into a good college like Brown or Georgetown or some other good school like that I will go to Tulane (if I am accepted) and do more extracurriculars and hard classes and then attempt to transfer.</p>
<p>Please someone that knows a lot about college applications and requirements please give me some advice on this.</p>
<p>Also, the reason I would have to go to college to do more extracurriculars is because the only clubs offered at my school are FBLA, FCCLA, FFA, Student Council, and National Honor Society.</p>
<p>I'm thinking about Business/CIS as my major. One of the two.</p>
<p>I also found a list of honors/clubs I've had.</p>
