<p>So I am an upcoming senior this fall. I am planning on applying EA to Georgetown SFS. Also, I want to apply to Brown (I know this is a bit of stretch), UChicago, Boston College, and Mac.
I am intending to study international relations, with a specific focus on the Middle East, Arabic, and Islam.
GPA: 4.0 unweighted
Rank: 1(of two) out of 280 at a public high school
I will only have taken two AP courses (Bio, English), though our school only offers 5 (Bio, Eng, Calc, Gov, and Spanish). Instead, I opted to take classes at a local 4-year private liberal arts university. I will have between 30-40 credits finished by the time I graduate. I know that I might not be able to transfer many of them, but they offered more rigorous coursework than my high school. Before I started at the university level I took all the "challenge" level courses my school offered.
I live in rural Minnesota, my town has a population of about 15,000 so I haven't had the opportunity yet to study what I want (Arabic) and I'm not sure if that is going to hurt me.
