Any advice or help?

<p>*note that this may or may not be a long entry but it is explaining every thing that i have done and everything i am planing on doing in the future.</p>

<p>Okay so let me start with the "about me" part of this. I am a 15 year old girl in 9th grade but even though I am a freshman and what would be considered a high schooler, I am still in middle school and do not have as many options as I will next year when I am in high school. I will be graduating from high school on 2016 from a small city in Alabama. My high school and city is know to be very intelligent and very spoiled buy other surrounding schools and communities. I am hispanic, my mother is from Nicaragua, and my father was from Mexico, but is now deceased, and I would be the first in my entire family lineage on both of my parents side to attend college. My grade have been pretty good so far, at least in my perspective. My first semester GPA is about a 3.75. my classes from 9th to 12th clade will be the "core 4" science, math, english, and social studies. i have attempted to get into adv. english but I haven't been accepted. my extra classes this year have been: Adv. Spanish II ( which I plan to keep taking advanced spanish classes until I graduate), Honor Choir (which I will also be planing to take until I graduate), and next year (10th grade) I will be taking Drama (again, until i graduate). Saying all of this, I am not very talented in singing, but I am okay in acting (being one of the two leads back in seventh grade). This year I am part of my schools Junior National Beta Club which means I have maintained at least an A average. We are required to preform at least 16 hours of service a year. Also this year i was selected to be a "Web Leader". a Web Leader is a person ( In 9th Grade only) who shows the upcoming 7th Graders around the school and help make a big change in their life easier. The after this I was chosen to be a "Web Ambassador", a person whip helps organize event to the 7th graders year round. I am not completely sure as to what i want to do when i grow up. I know that I want to have to have a job in the medical field. I have considered becoming an OBGYN. Being from the south, may want to stay here because they love it, but I personally want to get out of here as fast as I can. It has always been my dream to go live in California, especially Los Angeles. This year i have been looking at several colleges and I instantly fell in love with The University Of Southern California. This college is my fist choice but I do plan to apply to other colleges including: UCLA, UC Santa Barbra, Stanford (which is a long shot but i still want to try), UC San Diego. I am also considering applying to Berkeley, Riverside, Davis, Santa Cruz, and Irvine, but I am not positive since I have not look into these colleges a lot. USC i my first choice and i would do anything to attend, but I also want what is best for me. Can someone who is not biased help me in making this decision (any of the colleges that are listed) and tell me if I am on the right track or give me any advice. I am not sure if this is important but it was recommended that i put this on here, I do suffer with depression but not many, including my mother know about it.</p>

<p>You definitely need for EC’s, more volunteer hours. I would spend time read other people’s chance me threads for those schools to see what people currently applying are bringing to the table. I also hope the grammar of your post is just because it’s on the Internet (which Imo is no excuse, but I digress).</p>

<p>I agree with the above person. You should also start thinking about how to get good scores on your SAT/ACT. :)</p>

<p>Keep your GPA up, participate in ECs, study for SAT/ACT and come back in a couple of years with a bigger picture of your high school career.</p>
