<p>I grew up in California and was the best at most subjects during grade school, always made Honor Roll. </p>
<p>However, around ninth grade I turned sour and failed all my classes, got expelled from traditional high school and finally went on home school, which is where I graduated from. I've always been smart and had much potential but had the wrong influence.</p>
<p>Now, I'm 24 years old, a military veteran, currently an undergraduate with a 4.0 GPA, but I don't participate in clubs, organizations, or extracurricular activities. Also, I can't stand some general education classes so I imagine my GPA will drop when I only get a B-grade for a couple courses. I'm married and have a two year old to care for, my time is taken up by my family and being a full time student. I pretty much keep to myself. </p>
<p>I aspire to attend a well known school, preferably an Ivy League school, such as Dartmouth, or even a university such as Stanford or Berkeley. </p>
<p>All I know about these type of schools is what I read and what I see in movies, mainly being what I see in movies. The typical person going to these schools are privileged people coming from wealthy families, or those who are prepped for this type of school. I'm neither. </p>
<p>What are my chances of being admitted to Dartmouth or something as prestige as it? </p>
<p>I know this is a long post, I apologize. Thank you for your consideration.</p>
