Admissions Advice

Does coming from a small school affect my chances?

I dream to go to a prestigious school. However, I go to a small school that is from a small town. There are very few ace or college classes offered to students, and absolutely no AP classes and no honors. Due to personal reasons I just started to do extracurriculars (which I still need a physical to actually start.) I know this is not enough but I just do not know how to raise my chances of getting in because my school does not involve in any nation wide or valuable competitions. So now my questions are will going to a small school affect my chances? What do I need to do to raise the the chances.

I'm pretty sure just because you come from a small school it wouldn't affect your chances. Maybe try to aim for a college that requires less but still offers completely what you need or want in a school. I go to an online school that also doesn't

offer AP classes and I also hope to get into a good school. So I think it's really based on what you want or need in the school of your choice. But to find out what you need to do to increase your chances maybe look that up or hopefully someone else more experienced in the manner of knowing how to answer this question will answer it haha.

I really hope this helped :)
