I’m halfway through junior year (class of 2013) and looking to start on college visits, but I’m not really interesting in any particular college, and I don’t know where to start looking. I’m home-schooled, so I don’t have a guidance counselor to talk to, and I’m rather short on extra-curriculars. I’m in Kentucky and I want something within a five or six hour drive; I also want to pay the least amount of money possible, so anywhere I could get a scholarship would be awesome. I intend to go into medicine, if that helps.

ACT:
Composites of 24 (8th grade), 28 (9th), and 30 (10th).
Composite of 32 when I took it this summer.
English - 35
Reading - 36
Math - 26
Science - 31
Writing - 8 (This was my first time taking it)
I intend to take it another time or two before I graduate, to try and get the writing and math up.
Haven’t taken the SAT, and am waiting on my PSAT scores, though I doubt I got anywhere close to national merit. If I can wrangle it, I intend to take the MCAT for practice at the end of senior year,

I’m taking classes at the local community college; by the time I graduate, I’ll have had 1.5 years of calculus, 2 years of chemistry, 1 year of english, and 1 year of either physics or biology, along with assorted intro classes. I’ll also have a double associates in Arts and Sciences. I’ve gotten all A’s so far.

I won 2nd place and 3rd place at the college poetry contest, and received an honorable mention at the college essay contest. My extra-curriculars consist solely of church youth group, week-long summer choir camp, and a little bit of volunteer work at the church office.

Thanks for any help!
