<p>I'm a freshman (:P), and I was wondering if I'm on the right track to becoming a qualified applicant for selective schools (i.e. HYPSM). Right now, I'm taking:</p>
<p>Symphony Orchestra 2 (Audition Only)
IB Math Methods 1 (Precalculus)
Biology (All but 3 other freshman take physical science)
Honors World Studies
Honors English
French 1
I got a 4.0 first semester, but halfway through second semester, I have an 90% in math (A minus, counted as a 3.7); As in everything else though.</p>
<p>For my sophomore year, I've signed up for:
1) Graphic Design/PE (had to drop orchestra due to graduation requirements)
2) IB Math Methods 2 (IB Calculus/Math SL)
3)Chemistry (though I'm planning on requesting IB Chem, because I meet all the prerequisites)
4) Honors European Studies
5) Honors English
6) French 2</p>
<p>I intend on doing the IB diploma program in my junior and senior years, with math, English, Physics and Chemistry as HL subjects; unfortunately, I run out of options for math after my junior year, when I'll be taking IB Math HL.</p>
<p>My current ECs are kinda weak: I was a member of the tennis and swim teams this year (I sucked, and was on the C teams, but they were fun), and play the cello (fairly well) and piano (pretty badly). The orchestra I'm a part of at school is audition-only, and has rehearsals every Friday. Now that swim season is over, I have what seems like an eternity of free time every day; I end up spending this time trying to teach myself Chinese and Russian or IMing my friends (>_>)</p>
<p>Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
