<p>I hope you all are doing really well today. </p>

<p>Just interested if I am on track to Ivy league or not...</p>

<p>I'm a high school freshman in USA, midwest.
I'm Korean-American, 14, and came here when I was 3.
My school is 5A, with 500 kids/class.
UW GPA: 4. W GPA: 4.28
(Rank 1, only freshman in school history with Weighted GPA LOL)
I'm wondering if any of you Ivy-leaguers could give me tips based on my specs:</p>

<p>SAT (took it in 7th grade, 590 reading, 630 writing, 710 math, 1930 total)
taking SAT again in 2 weeks! :\
ACT (last month on December 10: 32 math and reading, 29 english, 28 science, 30 total)</p>

<p>no AP or SAT 2 tests...yet (taking AP stat./world and SAT 2 world history and SAT 2 math 2 in may/june)</p>

<p>school Schedule
AP World, trig/precalc H, AP statistics, Student Government, Spanish 3 H, English 1 H, Chem H.
Studying AP Bio online.
Freshman class president</p>

<p>Extracurricular
Oncology floor assistant secretary at local hospital
Junior representative of community library.
Tutoring 7-8th grade students in mathcounts
About 250 hours volunteer service
Soon-to-be-eagle scout.
6 years violin. Concertmaster of large in-state orchestra, Western-states Chamber honors orchestra placement
mathcounts team 11th place state
JV football and track
FBLA</p>

<p>self-declared weaknesses: essay writing, critical reading comprehension, arrogance at times
self-declared bonuses: well-rounded, confident, math/science
No decided major yet. Parents always bug me about being a medical doctor, which I might consider</p>

<p>I'm probably missing a few things, but I hope this is enough to put out there...
Please give me advice. Help is really needed, about anything, from SAT 2s to volunteering to sports...anything!</p>

<p>Great to have interest in college and look for general advice, but it’s premature for actual Chances.</p>

<p>My advice: Slow down on the standardized testing, do NOT take the SAT again as a fr. Instead wait and take the PSAT as a soph. Y, and some other schools, do not accept Score Choice. Getting a high score after testing once is great, twice is fine, three times is the limit, more is not good. Your seventh grade test is fine, but hold off on trying to get a top score for college admissions until early in jr year.</p>

<p>Since you’re currently taking AP World and precalc, it is a good time for the World and Math 2 Subject tests this spring. However, for the Math 2, be sure to go to the CB website to see what types of questions are asked and examples, and get a prep book. Much of the math is easy, but stuff you haven’t done for quite a while and need to review as speed is an issue.</p>

<p>Premeds can have any major. My D was an English major and premed.</p>

<p>Look, you’re crazy (and I mean that in the nicest possible way). Calm down. Have fun. Don’t try to get chanced as a freshman…it is way too early! Leave the stressing to us juniors and seniors and try to enjoy high school.</p>

<p>Yeah you seem to be on the right track, you are probably the most focused Freshman I have heard of.
I totally agree with brandonkunyuplee though. Do NOT take the SAT again as a Freshman!!! I would probably just keep taking practice tests and working on your reading and writing, but taking the actual test again is overkill. You will find that your SAT score goes up naturally every year you are in High School until like Junior year. Then is when I would suggest taking it twice. </p>

<p>Other than that you should keep a Journal to improve your essay writing, cause writing is all about practice. I would also advise you to choose a few clubs that you love and immerse yourself in them. You have 3 years a lot can be done i that time. Goodluck! :)</p>

<p>Don’t burn yourself out though…relax as much as possible. Stress will come later in your high school experience that I can guarantee, Freshman year should be for discovering your preliminary interests.</p>

<p>Play some sports!</p>

<p>Woah woah woah, hold your horses! Your just too young to be asking for chance threads. Your a freshman, you still have 3 years to go! I suggest you get off facebook, and start focusing on extracurriculars. Eagle scout is impressive, and you have a lot of volunteer hours. Maybe focus on getting the president service volunteer award?
Also, you said you do JV track and football. I would focus on sports and try to make that varsity (esp. for track) by maybe next year?
Academic wise, as a freshman you seem set.
DON"T TAKE THE SATS in 2 weeks please. You’ll have PLENTY of time for that sophomore/junior year.</p>
