<p>About Me
-Want to major in either a science/engineering or Journalism. If I go to USouth, I'll probably major in Chemistry.
-Very well liked by peers.
-I have many random talents. I can ride a unicycle, I can juggle, I can do both at the same time, I can do gymnastic stunts, I can dance, I'm a good go kart racer, I'm a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and I can whistle extraordinarily well.
-I love sports. Love love love them. Any sport, from football to cricket.</p>

-Next year, I'm taking APUSH and AP English III. Next year, I'll take AP English IV, AP Gov't, AP Physics and AP Calculus.
-27 on the ACT when I took it for the first time in December without trying. It was for Governor's School applications.

<p>Possible Helpers

-First generation to go to Sewanee. Dad went to Middle Tennessee State.
-This is my Harvard. I would kill to go here. This is my dream school.
-I WANT TO GO TO SEWANEE.
-I've always been praised for my writing, so I my essay(s) will be good.
-If I can find a way to pay for it, I'll apply ED.
-If I go, I'll join the football team and/or the soccer team.</p>
<p>Well, what are my chances to go?</p>
<p>Also, I know this isn't the place to ask, but how the heck to do pay $42k in tuition plus R&B? Can I get some scholarships? And would it be okay to get loans that large? I don't know if Sewanee will give me any money, so I don't know about that front.</p>
<p>Thanks for your time!</p>
