<p>I go to a very small rural high school in Kansas. No AP/IB courses are offered. English Comp is offered for dual credit, and I did take that. I was just curious if anyone else here was applying to Harvard with a similar situation?</p>
<p>yup, my school doesn’t have ap/ib/honour either. but then i’m in canada. so they should understand, hopefully.</p>
<p>according to harvard itself, they look to see that you’ve done as well as you can with the circumstances you’ve been given. the quality of your school shouldn’t affect your odds of getting in.</p>
<p>Sorry but no shot unless your test scores are mind blowing.</p>
<p>Ok I wasn’t really looking for a chances thread, but I have a 33 on the ACT. My subject test scores are a bit lower, I believe this is do to inferior classes since subject test are knowledge based. Math II- 730 Physics-700, US History -650, ya I know ouch. I do of course have a 4.00 GPA.</p>
<p>Yeah it should not matter if your school does not offer a million APs/IB since Harvard judges you within the context of your school.</p>
<p>What you do need (as what was stated above), is really great test scores to validate your GPA. </p>
<p>Your 33 is great. You might want to prep for those SAT II’s though.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Being from a rural high school in Kansas will be a plus for Ivy League admissions, as long as you have good scores.</p>
