<p>I'm currently a junior in high school at a private college prep school. We're a bit out there in terms of how we do things, so I was wondering what y'all would peg my chances to be.</p>
<p>Academics:
I haven't gone to the school's counselor yet to find out the exact number, but from my limited knowledge of how the thing works I'm pegging it at around 3.5 - 3.6
The past two years of high school I've gotten straight A's for maybe 4/6 grading terms, with the odd B in English or Math.
Our school does not offer any AP classes, rather students are able to go to the nearby university to take college classes if they qualify. I'm hoping to take two or three in senior year.</p>
<p>Extracurricular:
My school requires that each upper school student participate in an afternoon activity every trimester running from 3 to 5:30 pm. I'm usually back home at around 6 pm.
I'm not a fan of competitive sports so I've been doing theater, yoga, rock climbing, hiking, etc.
As far as volunteer work goes, from the time I get home and the time I go to bed I'm usually doing homework, so I can find hardly any time for volunteering.
Our school has no student government, so no running for president here.
We have maybe two active clubs. The school sponsors trips every weekend but the service trips are few and far between.
In my freshmen and sophomore years so far I've accumulated maybe 50+ hours of community service.</p>
<p>So to summarize, I feel fairly confident in academics. It's the extracurricular mumbo jumbo I'm stressing over. If I really take initiative in the next semester and senior year do y'all think I'd have a chance? Does admissions take into account the conditions of the school the applicants are applying from?</p>
