<p>Academically you are absolutely capable of admittance to top schools. However, so are hundreds of other applicants you need to make sure in your essays that you stand out and are unique. </p>

<p>It is possible for you. I’m hooked on this site due to my sophomore son. It’s absolutely not too early to plan. You have good grades and test scores. Your location might be a plus since most ivy leaguers seem to come from the east coast. Great essays and interviews will be essential. Just be sure to have a couple of safeties. It looks as though your family income qualifies you for “Questbridge.” </p>
