Is this good enough to get into a good college?
I'm going to put everything I have. I got a 31 on the ACT (going to retake it), my GPA is 4.1(weighted), I played soccer during high school but not for my school, I played one year of tennis (sophomore), I've done volunteer work in Peru during past summers, I'm in an environmental club at school, but I'm not in NHS. That's basically it. Be honest when responding. Is this good enough? What should I improve on? Looking at Northwestern, Duke, U of Illinois, and Vanderbilt, etc.

you have VERY high chances of getting in, volunteering (especially in other countries) is amazing, and sports as an out of school activity help a lot. You seriously have a good chance and those factors, plus your GPA and ACT will really help you. It won't hurt to apply, I would do it, and make sure your essay is STELLAR. this is sometimes the deciding factor.

Looking good to me, honestsly, lol. BUT getting better always helps your chances. Keep working hard, if you have a goal don't slack on it. Work your freaking BUT OFF if ya have to , but still enojoy life. There is plenty of good things out there so keep it up! When you write your essay to college, metion your goals and dreams too! They probably want to know why your so motivated! You'll do fine, hoped I help, so good luck and GODBLESS
3 :
you can always try a community college. They take anybody. When your grades improve you can transfer into one of the other colleges.
4 :
GPA could be higher....but the volunteer work and extra curriculars looks pretty good...Should be able to get into Vanderbilt or maybe Illinois/northwestern....but Duke tends to look more solely at GPA/Test scores

How can I succced without being in the US
How can I succced without being in the US?
Hello all, Although the title may sound like I am feeling frustrated, I am not. It's only that, analysing the market, the trends and a lot of other info here and there, I am finding it hard to position my website (which is this one: http://heptagrama.com) better because I am not in the US. For example: + To sell advertising or the products and services I intend to offer, one of the most reliable means of payment is PayPal; but Paypal doesn't work in Peru. + To receive visitors from English-speaking countries is very difficult, because it seems that everybody obeys Digg and Del.icio.us; but few people are open to explore other websites. + It doesn't matter that my —still small— website is being considered quite educational in Spanish-speaking countries or that a few blogs here or there consider it an alternative to the Wikipedia or that three of my articles have been reprinted in Africa; my 'fight against the monsters' is still a hard thing to achieve. Any suggestions?

Tedel, I have a couple things for you. First of all, Paypal is only one option for online payment. There is also online payment processing whereby you accept credit cards. You should be able to find a bank in Peru that can assist you with this. Additionally, are you familiar with the concept of a skybox? With this, you will have a US based shipping address so that items can be shipped to you via that address in the US. That being said, if you can get one of those, then you can set up a Paypal account. I do not live in the US and I wanted to open a Paypal account before it was available to my country. So I used my US skybox account as the address to open a Paypal account. That should work for you as well. The other thing is, did you write all those articles? If you did, then you are a prime candidate for what I am about to suggest to you. It is called SBI. It will, through superior marketing technoques, help you move you website beyond the hurdles you currently face. Your challenge is not about where you are located or in what part of the globe, but rather about finding an efficient marketing technique that actually works and SBI will do that for you. If you wrote the articles on your site, then you will really in for a ride of your life with SBI, one that you will not regret. SBI will have you up and running and a very short time. You see, SBI is based on content, and you have that already lots of it! Take a look and see for yourself. http://buildit.sitesell.com/top_affiliate.html I have been involved in Internet market and for almost 10 years now. I have tried almost every legitimate conceivable type of marketing, many of which failed to deliver. I have spent hundreds of dollars but with very little results. I operated at a loss for years. Let's see, I did classified ads, search engine optimisation, pay-per-clicks, search engines submissions, paid search engine submissions, I purchased targeted visitors. I did Google Adsense. You name it, I did it. I even paid companies to promote by site. But then I heard about SBI and initially I was very skeptical about it. When I saw what they were offering and for less than a dollar per day, I said to myself, "NO WAY! That's Impossible. There is no way they can offer all of that for that price!" I mean, they are offering every-single-thing you need to build a professional and profitable website for less that a dollar a day!? That is: 1. From the conception and development of the idea, 2. The domain name - and all the fancy stuff that a webmaster will normally have to do in setting up the domain name is done automatically for you, 3. The keywords to promote your site, 4. The creation of each professional and optimized page, 5. Submission of each page to all the major search engines, 6. Of course, the hosting of your site, and tools that will tell you how your site is doing with advice on how to make it even better. 7. All the online help you will ever need I felt that there was too much hype about this product and that it was just another scheme. There was no way this one product could possibly do all the things they say it could. But then I started checking it out. I listened to what they had to say, I looked at the videos, I researched the company cynically, hoping to find something bad about them so that I can say to myself, "see, I told you so." The interesting thing was I found nothing negative about them. That intrigued me some more and I started looking at quite a number of online sites that are using their technology. To my utter amazement they all seemed to be doing very well, and had very good ratings on Alexa.com. Eventually I decided to give them a try. I have not regretted it. SBI is the 'best thing since sliced bread' http://buildit.sitesell.com/top_affiliate.html If you really want to make money online, use Site Build It (SBI). If you really want a high return on your investment, use SBI. Their entire system and is based on creating a quality content that is highly optimised to attract targeted traffic to your site. They provide posting for your site. They provide all the tools that you need to build a successful site and a lucrative and money making online venture. No longer do you have to build your site, then find a web host for it, then fight up with promoting it. With SBI you get it all - everything you need to build a successful site. Now that I am using SBI, I have started to see my online business turn around, and it will continue to get better. I wish I had tried this earlier. You see, not only do they provide web hosting for your site, but the also and more importantly provide every single thing you need to run a profitable online business in a step by step format that makes it very easy to follow and very easy to succeed at. They have written as well as video tutorials, and a large community of helpers who are using the product and willing to help you in any way. That's why I love Site Build It. I really works for me. Can you imagine what it will do for you?

Unlikely that you'll get a loan for this if you don't have collateral.
