<p>Do top-tier colleges care when you start really making contributions... major ones... to your community? I won't be able to put my plans into action before grade 11 next year, so I was just wondering. I do have ideas and am looking forward to really getting out there, but I didn't have the opportunity before.</p>
<p>11th grade is the big year, as long as you are consistent and show commitment to something (whether it be a program, club, team, or simply a general interest)
Never too late to start!</p>
