<p>Thank you sooooo very much if you actually read all of this and gave me an accurate judging. It really does help quite a bit to have the input of others, especially since many of my colleges seem to have neither rhyme nor reason for selecting their freshman classes. I will gladly chance back if you post the the web address to your post here.</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good shot at most of these schools. You have a good ACT score and are an amazing jump roper. If you play up your jump roping, anything is possible. It also helps that you’re from Idaho. The only thing that could be concerning to theses schools is the rigor of your schedule. Since you didn’t put that up, I can’t really say anything.</p>
