Hi Everyone! 
I am going to be a high school senior this year and here lately I have been thinking ALOT about college! I know that time flies and here recently alot of people have asked me what I’m doing after high school, and the answer is always “Im still deciding”. Well Im tired of saying that and I want to know if I have a chance of getting a full ride scholarship to an Ivy League University. Here is a condensed resume….
-I’m currently ranked 1st in my class of 325 students.
-I volunteer at a local children’s hospital and city festivals
-I am a Sister Cities International member and have traveled to Germany & Italy
-I went to Washington D.C with the Close Up Foundation
-I was Vice President of my schools Close Up Group (2008-2009)
-I was Vice President of the National Honor Society Chapter (2008-2009)
-I speak fluent spanish
-I have a job at American Eagle Outfitters
-I do glass art at school and have won several first place awards
-My SAT/ACT are not great, they’re national average
So do you guys think I could get a full ride scholarship to an Ivy League University given these stats about my academic career? And if so, how would I go about applying for these “big” scholarships that cover everything. THANK YOU GUYS SOO MUCH! I just need a bit of advice and guidance in this matter…

One thing I learned, that MOST students in those schools have those kinds of backgrounds.
Your going to need something, or someone more to give you the edge. I don’t see any sports, or any over the top academics. Do you know anyone of status?
Honestly, for that type of school, you probably be an average joe. But a state school you’ll be considered a star though.
