<p>Im 15, currently in sophomore year, I know its a bit too early to post a chance me but I need help to determine whether Im on the right track. Im more academic-oriented and I think this may harm my chances at the schools Im applying for. However, this is because of my schools program which provides a rigorous academic program but is rather lacking in ECs.
