| First, you'll probably get a better response in the Class of 2012 thread, since that's the class you'll enter in anyway.
Secondly, I would say that we are very similar in terms of high school record. It's terrible, but if you come from a small school in the middle of nowhere, the odds are against you. I came from Belmont High School, a public school in New Hampshire with 500 kids total; my graduating class was 96 people.
For the most part, you have a shot, but you have to do something extravagant to stand out, because if your school doesn't have a GOOD rep, you'll need something to make them hang back for a second on your application. |
