<p>I read that passion and interest in a few areas can be better than well-roundedness, although both are pretty significant. I was wondering, based on the classes/ECs I'm taking now and the classes/ECs I plan on doing in the future, do I stand out to you? What are some ways I could improve? I feel like there isn't much focus in my 4-year plan, and I'm attributing a portion of that to not knowing exactly what I want to be.</p>
<p>I'm a sophomore in an IB school and I will probably be pursuing the IB Diploma. I will only list "important" courses, not classes that I took to fulfill district requirements like computer programming, P.E., etc.</p>
