<em>I am not sure what else to do/ take?</em></p>

<p>Single parent household... very low income.</p>

<p>Umm... Any help would be much liked. Do I have a shot at all? My schools is very small and does no offer much... my teachers are very mediocre as well and I am doing most my studying on my own to re-learn. </p>

<p>Chance me?</p>

<p>You’re really good, and I think you know too…I’m a sophomore and my stats are WAY lower, trust me. You’re in good shape for Ivies, but try a bit more ECs </p>

<p>Well I Just decided I wanted to go to an Ivy school… I am not sure what I more ECs I can do?</p>

<p>My town is very small… there is nothing nearby, it is hard to volunteer. I do not have my permit yet either… ugh…</p>

<p>Why did you just arbitrarily decide you wanted to go to an Ivy school? The League consists of eight very different schools. Sounds like a superficial goal. You shouldn’t worry too much about college yet. You’re on the right track, so just keep it up. Don’t get focused on anything yet. Next year around this time you should be researching a bit. GL and live a little :D!</p>

<p>You have a very good chance of getting into a great school, but don’t concern yourself yet with college. Right now you need to just focus on keeping your grades up. Your ECs look good- keep doing everything that you are doing. Maybe add a little more? Since you live in a small town, maybe you can start your own club or charity? </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
