Geographic diversity

Would being from North Dakota be considered a hook at schools like Goucher, Muhlenberg, and Dickinson?

Yes. If you're stats are anywhere near competative, I think that's the edge.

I think that would be equivalent to being African American at schools like muhlenberg and dickinson.

I guess i am just worried about getting any financial aid. I am a junior from a very rural area of Northe Dakota.

My stats are in the median of an average muhlenberg applicant

ACT-30
GPA - 3.55
my class rank is only in the top 25% though, how much will this hurt my chances?
My school only has two AP's, only offered to seniors, i will be taking only one of them. but i am taking an AP online this summer.

EC's
VP of student advisory for two years
liason for key club
close up
track and field for 4 years
cross - country 4 yeas (captain)
teach sunday school to kids at local church
co founded running club for young kids during the summer that has so far raised of $3500 for local running and biking trails
interning at law firm this summer

Muhlenberg is my dream school and i have been in contact with the school sense my sophmore year. I am working to pay for a plane ticket out to interview this fall. I will also be applying ED.

Do you think i have a chance at any money? i will not be able to attend without major financial assistance.

Any opinions would be appreciated.
