<p>Hey CC Members,</p>
<p>I am a south Floridian (Sophmore) attending a small private Christian school in my district. I would love to attend a top-rank college of some sort, like an ivy for instance. Anyway, I know I am a smart student, but my school isn't that well known when it comes to college acceptances. My school now only offers a few (5 to be exact) AP courses for 11th and 12th grade, while other, larger private schools offer a wide range of AP classes and are very well known for at least having 3-5 ivy league acceptances a year. But because of my current personal status, I can only attend my current school. If I score well on SATs and take some AP courses online, do you think colleges will care that I attend this small, mediocre school? By the way, here are my current stats:</p>
<p>9th Grade
Mu Alpha Theta
NJHS
Varsity Tennis- 1st Chair, MVP
Intern @ Smithbarney
Swim Team
All honors
4.2 ,4.4
All American Science Award</p>
<p>10th Grade
XCountry
All Honors
Varsity Tennis
Intern @ Smithbarney, maybe Merill Lynch

FBLA
Online course- Webdesign 1
Mu Alpha Theta
President
Yearbook Club</p>
<p>(the 10th grade stats are what I KNOW I will have completed by the end of the year...however the year is just beginning, so I may have more stats...)</p>
<p>My school's website by the way is <a href="http://www.csca.us%5B/url%5D">http://www.csca.us</a> </p>
<p>Any advice would help... </p>
<p>P.S. - Do you think if I mention the fact that my school doesn't offer as many AP's as other competitive high schools in my district so I took the time to take more APs online to have a better chance of competing with other students who attend such schools in my college resume for when I apply that the college will like me more/less than if I just changed schools and went to the school with more to offer?</p>
