<p>I don’t know about Yale or Brown because those schools focus a lot on class rank and GPA (Sad for me too) but if yous ell yourself right you could probably get some kind of scholarship at all the others.</p>

<p>thanks! Anyone else have any advice?</p>

<p>ISU should be a piece of cake (atleast from seeing in-state students - I don’ really know if the standards are different for out of state students). I don’t really know about the other state schools, but I’d say you’d be a competetive applicant at many.</p>

<p>Again, Brown and Yale…nobody knows what goes on behind those mahagony doors, but I think you’d need stellar recommendations, essays and as for everyone, a bunch of luck. : )</p>
