<p>Hey everyone. High school sophomore here.
Bored over March Break, so I was just browsing, and seeing all these insane stats is pretty intimidating. I just wanted to know if I'm on the right track for some good American schools. (I'm Canadian).</p>

<p>Pre-IB.
GPA: 93% (Dunno what that is on a 4.0 scale).
SAT I: 2000 in grade 8 with no studying.
AP: Self studied everything.
9: AP Macro/Micro Econ, and Statistics, all 5s
10: AP Bio and ES, taking the exam in May, probably again all 5s.
In real IB i'm going to be taking HL English, History, Chem, and SL Math, French, Physics</p>

<p>Activities:
-Kids Help Phone Student Ambassador and Conference Leader
-Co-Founder and Vice-President of OSAID
-Graphic Designer for Yearbook
-Involved in founding a non-profit organization which holds regional conferences of 100+ teens to raise awareness about education issues.
-Plays saxophone in 4 school bands and the city's Youth Wind Orchestra, and Teaching Assistant for a grade 7 and 8 band
-Peer tutor for Science
-Top 20 Provincials at DECA for Grade 9/10
-Intern for the President of the regional Chartered Accountant Association
-Tier 1 Junior Soccer team</p>

<p>No real awards except for being the only ninth grade AP Scholar in Canada. =/</p>

<p>soo, am i on track? the other threads around here are pretty insane..so I was feeling a bit discouraged. i dont really have any awards, which kind of sucks.</p>

<p>“Good” is a relative term so I’m going to assume that when you say that you mean America’s top universities. Your stats are ok and because you’re Canadian it also makes it a little harder for you to get in. Compared to alot of people you’re either average or below. Nothing really stands out. You are only a sophomore though so anything can really happen in two years.</p>

<p>alright thanks. any ideas on how to improve in the next two years?</p>

<p>Do something that you’re passionate about. You want to be able to reflect that in your application and show that when something interests you, you really excel at doing it. And just make sure to keep up all of your academics.</p>
