<p>Okay, I'm only a Junior in high school right now, but most of my Senior friends, and everyone else who has common sense have told me that I should start looking at colleges now. (Which, I already started that last year). But, I have 6 schools that I want to apply to:
1. Yale
2. Princeton
3. Columbia
4. Vanderbilt
5. Duke
6. UNC Wilmington</p>
<p>I'd consider UNC Wilmington a safety school, because I'm pretty sure I could get in. A bit of background information: I have a 4.3 GPA, number 1 out of 70 (for now. And, hopefully it won't change.) I'm Junior Rep for Student Council. I'm in NHS, Beta Club, Spanish Honor Society, and Green Club. I also Tutor. I haven't taken the SATs yet, but I plan to do so soon, as well as take an AP English exam. I feel like, even if I do get good SAT scores, I won't be able to stand out for the Ivy Leagues. I feel like I need a talent. I'm a really good writer. I love writing. I'm thinking about entering some writing competitions, or publishing a book or something.<br>
So, help! How would I do? (With and without the talent?)</p>
