You should certainly be in the running. Don’t worry too much about how many students your high school has sent to the Ivy League in recent years – my son got in and was the first student at his school in at least a half dozen years to do so.

Get some significant leadership role in your community service work before you apply. It’s not how many hours you log, but rather the innovations you create and the impact you make that may potentially impress the admissions committee. So focus on the one that will give you a chance to make a difference – or create your own.
