<p>Hello, I'm a freshman at a highly ranked technology/science magnet school with a 100% 4 year college acceptance rate and I wanted to know if I am heading on the right track, since Pomona is my dream school.</p>

<p>So far for first half (we have block scheduling) I received:
Biology I: 93
English I: 93
Algebra I: 93
Spanish I: 97</p>

<p>This semester I'm taking Chemistry I, Geometry, Gym, and World History and I'm hoping to receive all A's.</p>

<p>And also all of our courses are considered honors/AP</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Project Terrapin Club
Student Council
Human Rights Club
Newspaper Club
Girl Scouts (working on Silver Award)
Volunteer at library
Will be volunteering at hospital soon</p>

<p>Jobs/Internships:
Job at library
Potential field research internship</p>

<p>Research:
Independent- possibly competing next year</p>

<p>Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and I'm sorry if I sound obnoxious, I just really think Pomona is an awesome school and I can picture myself there more than anywhere else.</p>

<p>You look pretty good so far, but don’t get hung up on a single school- especially so early! My best advice to you would be to just keep chugging along, working hard, having fun, and sticking with the things you love. Don’t stress so early! You still have two years before you need to figure all that junk out.</p>

<p>Also: good luck on your silver award!! I’m a GS too- I got my gold award a few months back. It’s a lot of work but trust me, it’s all worth it in the end.</p>

<p>Hahaha thanks :slight_smile: Actually I just got my Silver Award and planning on getting my Gold Award this summer. And yeah, I completely understand what your saying about not getting hung up on a school, it’s just that at this moment in time I feel like Pomona’s a really good option for me… I’m not definite if four years in the future Pomona will be my dream school but I’m almost positive it will at least be one of my top choices. But thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it.</p>
