I was part of the french honor society during freshman year.

<p>Please tell me what you guys think!!!! I would completely appreciate it!!!</p>

<p>I’m assuming that you are a rising sophomore in which case, please do not think about college. This is really not to sound condescending or preachy – the people who are happiest in their college searches that still go on to prestigious, highly-regarded schools are those who focus on doing something interesting in their time with high school and leave the transcript stuff to the summer before their senior year, when you do have to start thinking seriously about apps.</p>

<p>If you are a intellectually curious, like doing rigorous coursework, and enjoy challenging yourself then you will gravitate to the classes that so-called “prestigious” colleges like to see. If you do not naturally gravitate to those classes, then why take them and endure years of misery? Many more billionaires have graduated from state schools and so called “safety” institutions than Ivy’s and their peer colleges.</p>

<p>All that being said, you definitely are on the right track. Of course, SAT makes a huge difference. I would also focus on finding clubs that really connect with your interests and committing lots of time to them. Of course, don’t just join a collection of clubs that have nothing to do with each other – if humanities is a passion of yours, consider Debate, Mock Trial, and the literary journal (if those are offered). If math/science is your thing, an Honors Math Society/Mathletes is also possible.</p>

<p>Joining a sport is great for bonding and many colleges also like to see that (I read a statistic once that of Williams’ incoming class, only 15% did not participate in sports or band in high school, and I’m sure they’re not unique in that). </p>

<p>Overall, transcript wise, you seem on the right track, but don’t get stuck in that all-academic mindset. More and more often, the decisions most colleges make are contingent on extracurriculars and interest shown outside of the classes – that’s one of the best ways to build an exciting, interesting student body, after all. Good luck!</p>

<p>Wow thanks:) great advice!</p>
