Homeschooled, multiracial female going into engineering
Graduating after junior year
from Charleston wv
SAT: 1490
ACT: 33
SAT2s: chem - 760, writing - 710, Math2c - 800
2 APs so far, chem and stats, 5ed both… doing physics C, economics, psy, bio and calc bc this year (i self teach all APs - do they care?)

no clubs to speak of… it’s a small homeschool organization… i play guitar and keyboard, no awards. quite a few math competition awards… coached Mathcounts team one year, got about 80 hours of service…

recommendation letters, not as good as could be if i waited another year… one college professor, a chess coach, and a science lab instructor.

Dad is an alum, spent grad school at case.

some summer programs: college prep at WVWC and an engineering thing at Marshall

can anyone honestly evaluate my chances? thanks in advance do you think i would have any chance for really good financial aid, if i get in? any comments would be appreciated, since I have no idea where I stand (and i’m sure the homeschooled/early admission things would throw a bit of a wrench into admissions decisions)
