I am worried that i will end up in a small, po-dunk college in the middle of nowhere.
Last year i ended up with a GPA of 3.83 (unweighted), took 3 honors classes and latin, and am this year taking latin II, AP World History, and 3 more honors classes. Do i have a chance to go to a good university?
I would like to major in Preveterinary, PreDentistry, or Premed... Any universities you would recommend would be terrific help...

With a 3.83, you don't need to go to a small, podunk college anywhere. While you probably won't end up at a major prestige school, there are plenty of options. Since you are looking at the sciences, it is important that you go somewhere with good science lab facilities. And since you see small as a negative, I would suggest one of the flagship state university campuses. They are usually better-funded than the other campuses in any given state. I don't know which part of the country you are in, but in most cases it would be the University of _____ (although in a few states, they call it something else, like Rutgers in New Jersey and Purdue in Indiana). If you want to go out of state you can, although you would pay more, but it would still be less than most private schools.

You should be good. That is a very high GPA. It does depend on your SAT/ACT scores as well, but you are in good shape.
And just because a school is in the middle of no-where and small does not make it a bad school, for the same reason that a big school in a big city isn't always a good thing.

It's all about the SAT's. Where do you want to go, where can you afford. Apply to a bunch of places in the area you want to go to. Every major state school and private university are going to offer classes for the stuff you want to take. You don't need to know what it is you want to do just yet.

of course you have a good chance, if u took all those honor classes and ap's i dont even think you should be asking this question.
