Any advice?

<p>Hi! I'm currently a high school freshman in a high school that is not the best high school. To give a little description about my school, it only has 1 honors class and limited AP classes (calc AB, bio, physics, art history, music theory, psychology, euro history, u.s history, lang and comp, lit and comp). Also, there aren't that many academics clubs. My goal as a young child was to get into a school like Caltech or MIT, and I realize with the competitions these days how hard it is to get into those schools. So I have been wondering, is there anything you can suggest me to do in high school that will tremendously help me reach my goals?</p>

<p>My current profile:
-4.0 GPA #1 in class rank
-800 in SAT II Korean
-Classes: Adv. bio, adv. english 9, algebra 2, athletics (tennis), leadership, spanish 1.
-planning to selfstudy and take APHG test (any advice? i'm really inconsistent with my studying because i don't have time..)</p>

<p>Activites:
-Monthly volunteer at the local youth court (it's like a place where kids who are supposed to go to Juvenile hall get a second chance and you act like a prosecutor or lawyer for them).
-our school Community service club treasurer.
-freshman vice president in asb.</p>

<p>Plans for next year:
-create a math/science club (any advice?)
-take ap euro, ap physics, leadership, spanish 2, athletics (tennis), adv. english 10, precal/trig.</p>

<p>I been also told that our school is going to host the IB program in my junior year, so my class will be the first to take the program. I'm honestly scared because our teachers aren't that great and I realize the IB is a very intense program. Should I take it?</p>

<p>If you can suggest me ANYTHING, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!</p>
