I'm a sophomore. I go to a small, country school in Oklahoma that has very little to offer, especially in terms of AP classes. (I'm ranked one in my class right now, but I don't think that's really saying much.) I don't have very many EC's to list. I play sports year round: cross country in the fall, basketball in the winter, track in the spring, and a little bit of each in the summer. Realistically, I have no idea if I'd be good enough to go to an Ivy League school for athletics. I have very little time to give to extracurriculars because I am devoted to and passionate about the sports in which I participate. I am in debate and I placed with my original oratory at the state meet my freshman year, last year.

I have not had a chance to take the SAT. I did take the ACT, however. I just got my scores back recently.

English: 35
Math: 32
Reading: 35
Science: 28
Composite: 33

I have no clue as to how good these scores compare to others competing for the Ivy League. I'll be taking it a few times more before I graduate.

I'm grateful for any advice or comments at all.

Your scores are competitive, especially for a sophomore. All of the athletic involvement will look good, but you need to balance it out a little with other EC's. Join a club or maybe try your hand at community service. It's a little too early to say much more than that.

After learning for a year, try retaking the test next year as a junior. Generally, the score will increase.

Yes, I was planning on that.
