<p>I'm quite young just 17, but not young enough to really think about the college I will attend soon. I've made some mistakes in my past and I did not really put school first in my freshman year which concludes me to do a 5th year. To make up for all my mistakes I've done quite some work in editing my school profile and academics. I've been on the ball team from grade 6-9, Debate Team, Chess Team, had a poem published in a book at age 11, planning to work as an extra to begin my acting career, member of a catholic/christian organization for 3 years and still present which I also served as a service team leader/mentor, been on tv with other young women promoting violence of young girls vs. young girls, vocal for only 2 years, won 2 winner trophies for Free-throw basketball and came in 3rd at nationals, won Dramatic Arts award, Astronomy club, and I'm on my way to getting perfect grades. I've learned from these immature mistakes of mine and I was wondering if any of you think I would even be considered for an Ivy League school (especially Harvard), or a prestigious college? Also, my school does not offer AP course or IB courses, I attend a Self-Directed school which functions similar to a university. Still, I would like opinions if this would destroy my chances to a prestigious university? I am going to pursue more community work/ other work/ clubs related to the arts this year to increase my college resume but I still am worried about my chances. Please help me out people! Thanks so much!</p>
<p>btw I live in Canada, I hope this doesn't ruin my chances because I do want to have a chance for an interview..</p>
<p>Post some facts and we'll see. How about courses, GPA, rank, SATs, SAT IIs, etc.</p>
<p>Well normally to gain admission into Canadian universities we do not have to do SAT's. But we do have a place to take SAT in order to get into a university in the U.S. I am not sure about my rank within my graduating class because I am doing a 5th year. I'm trying to do all the rigorous courses in my school most of them are english/history/social sciences related.</p>
