Bringing down prices of expensive colleges?
i’m a junior in high school, 4.54 GPA (3.96 unweighted), class rank 5/1200 students (with a shot at being salutatorian if I could pull off straight A’s this semester), and I will take ACT/SAT this spring (predicting about a 1470 reading & math SAT/33 ACT)
I live in the Chicago suburbs and am a white female. I will be the first person on my mom’s side of the family to go to college.
I have been on the tennis team all three years so far (and play at a club outside of high school season), was captain of the badminton team freshman year, and am very involved with Student Council (Representative Freshman year, Committee Chair for the past two years). I have been volunteering at the hospital every week since the summer after Freshman Year (and plan to do so until the end of senior year). I work as a tour guide in my town 6 months out of the year and plan to do this again next year. I am also serve as a youth representative on my city’s Transportation Advisory Board.
In my spare time I design and construct jewelry. I also follow sports and have been a life long fan of a few teams.

okay my main question is, with all of this is- if i were to apply to ivy league schools, stanford, university of north carolina, duke, georgetown, exc., and i got in (i know this is not guaranteed or even very likely- i’m just saying if), do you think i would be able to get enough money/scholarships to bring down these prices to a level semi-comparable to instate tuition of university of illinois? (family income about 100,000) this may be a stupid question, i don’t really know.
how are my chances at getting into these colleges?

stanford? yale? duke? northwestern?
how’s it looking for me
um at my school if you get an a in honors precalc you can go to calc bc. we cover everything ab does we just go a lot faster and then do some extra stuff at the end. i didn’t know that you couldn’t do that at other schools.
could i consider these safety schools?
