What are my Chances?

This should go into the chances forum in a couple of years. It is IMPOSSIBLE to say anything useful now. Actually, the chances forum is really not too useful anyway.

You will need to keep your grades at a similar level for the next three years and you will especially need to nail your standardized tests in order to prove the validity of your grades. Even then, there are no guarantees with Ivies, Stanford, and the many other equally excellent colleges that you haven’t heard of yet.

Thank You for your advice

What kind of school group are you in that you can found a club and be co-captain? And you have got to learn those schools and their sisters will look for much more than grades and scores. They want to see your personal stretch and other attributes. Why not research what these colleges look for, their values?

I am in a Home School co-op and play sports at my former private school.

Come back in two years with grades past freshman year and test scores.

It looks like you have a great plan so far. Homeschoolers in our area generally try both the SAT and ACT to see which they like better, so you may want to try that. Keep doing what you’re doing, but don’t limit yourself to elite schools. There are a lot of great colleges out there.

To truly have a chance at the most competitive schools. you need to get some research work or SOME kind of inclass work with outside (i.e. not homeschool) instructors who can vouch for how you interact w/instructors or other students. Maybe as a dual enrolled in community college or that sort.
