American Girl In Egypt Needing Your Help!

<p>Ivy league schools like Harvard will want to see something more than good grades and scores. I strongly suggest that you find one or two extracurriculars that show initiative and leadership on your part. Perhaps you can help a scientist in a lab, or get involved in helping Egyptian women get better medical care, or something similar. A recent Intel Science winner in Massachusetts started a program in high school to go into the local elementary public schools and teach the kids about science four times a year. The program was named Exciting Science. I believe. You are going to have to prove to the colleges that if you get an education at their institution, that you are going to make a difference in the world. Also, be sure to make good use of your summers.</p>
