<p>Is English your first language? I don’t mean to insult you, but it doesn’t sound like it. If not, how long have you been in the US? Would you be considered an international or are you a citizen? Your background certainly might have a bearing on admissions.</p>

<p>Did you take the AP exams? How did you do? SAT IIs?</p>

<p>I don’t see anything compelling about your credentials in what you have told us. You rank is fine, course rigor sounds good, Math SAT is great, CR/W are weak for D unless you are hooked, which you apparently aren’t.</p>

<p>I think that you will have to show them more in some way to stand out in the unhooked admissions pool.</p>

<p>It’s always great to see a fellow Alabamian! I must, however, agree with the above post. You must really stand out. Your school’s excellence might actually be a hindrance given that you will be expected to take advantage of opportunities available to you. You seem like an average candidate (which these days is excellent, yet a dime a dozen at the Ivy League) that needs to find a way to differentiate yourself. What they really want to know is what makes you unique(as cliche as it may sound).</p>
