<p>Hi I'm a rising sophomore in a private preparatory high school. I would like to know if I am a candidate for and Ivy League University. My father was born in Dominican Republic and moved to the U.S. at the age of 17 and graduated from Buffalo University(I'm saying this because I don't know if I'm a URM or not and if this will play to my advantage). I want to become an engineer and I have a bright future in mind for myself. My freshman year grades were far from stellar, but I want to know if I get straight A's throughout the rest of High School if I can attend an Ivy League University such as HPSM. I took all honors classes which was the most rigorous and advanced course a freshmen could take at my school. I was a varsity cross country and varsity track runner(I won a school athletic award for track), however I don't know if I would like to or would even be able to run in college. I have been placed in all honors and one AP class for my upcoming sophomore year, once again the most rigorous course a sophomore in my school could take. This upcoming year, I plan on joining more clubs as well as earning leadership roles in them, starting an engineering club(My school would be all for it, could I develop this into my hook?), becoming class administrator(not much if any other people who would run for it), and continue my community service outside of school, I had about 40 hours last year but plan on getting more. I have also begun studying for the SAT's and reviewing my coursework. Comments from any Ivy students or parents would be great. My grades and class placements are as followed:
Freshman Grades:<br>
Honors English - 91<br>
Honors Geography - 90<br>
Honors Geometry - 87<br>
Spanish 2 - 96<br>
Honors Biology - 90<br>
Music In Our Lives - 90<br>
Sophomore Placement:
Honors English
AP Geography
Honors Trigonometry
Spanish 3
Honors Chemistry
Art Appreciation<br>
Thanks for the help!</p>
<p>It’s too early to tell. You’re on the right track. Get high grades in rigorous courses and do extracurriculars you enjoy. That’s my advice to you.</p>
<p>Depends on your SAT and other future factors. Look for chances closer to senior year.</p>
<p>If it’s not to late, I suggest you switch Ap Geo to World history… I took it my freshman year and it was the most pointless class ever…</p>
