<p>Hello! Next year, I'll be applying to colleges. I have a few colleges that I want to go to, but I am unsure if I have any chance of getting in! My top choices are Duke, UNC-Chapel Hill, Georgetown, and George Washington.
Also, should I take AP Chemistry next year instead of AP Environmental Science?</p>
<p>Here's my background:</p>
<p>I live in a small, rural town in western North Carolina. Our area is very poor, and there is a high level of unemployment (upwards of 16%).</p>
<p>Senior Year:
1) Adv. US History ---> 1) AP US History
2) AP Statistics 2) Adv. British Lit/Comp
3) AP Environmental 3) Adv. Physics
4) UNC-G iSchool 4) AP US Gov & Politics</p>
<p>Once I graduate, I will have taken 7 AP courses (My school offers about 12-14): Spanish, Calculus AB, Biology, Environment Science, US History, Statistics, and US Gov & Politics.</p>
<p>Weighted GPA: 4.5 (expected to grow next year)
Unweighted GPA: 4.0</p>
<p>SAT: CR (610) Math (630) Writing (650)
I plan to take SAT Subject Tests in Biology, Math Level I, and Spanish.</p>
<p>I work about 10 hours a week as a cashier at a grocery store.</p>
<p>Extracurricular Activities:
1) Student Council (Junior Officer)
2) Interact Club (This is a service organization. I hope to have a leadership position next year)
3) Cross Country running team (Grades 11-12)
4) Volunteer at local public library (Hope to have accumulated at least 50-100 hours)</p>
<p>I've taken two courses at my local community college, and I plan to take 1-2 more this summer.</p>
<p>I have divorced parents, and I live with my mom. She has a very low income ($10,000 or less)</p>
<p>If you read all of that, please give me your thoughts about my chances of getting into any of the colleges that I listed. It would be much appreciated!</p>
