Middlebury, BC, MIT, Harvard

<p>well my school traditionally sends about 50-60 students to BC every year (accepted that is, not attending), about 2-3 to harvard(most attend), and im not sure about the rest. i know my grades/scores suck, but how do my ec's look? i can explain the dip in grades with family issues.. and i can retake SATs.</p>

<p>oh, and as far as classes go.. basically ive had the hardest classes/biggest courseload in my class since sophomore year. sadly, in my school, no one thinks outside of the box. i can get great recs from teachers too.</p>
