Combine this with good grades and some SAT scores, and you're a shoe in for most colleges you could desire, including Ivies. Only 30 kids per semester and 54 over the summer. I recommend contacting your senator's office early, and work hard on your app.

This is one application you don't want to put off until last minute. Use any connections you have, but don't underestimate the power of an honest, hard-working applicant.
