<p>Hello, I am a current sophmore in high school and am wondering my chances at these schools: Princeton, Harvard, West Point and the Air Force Academy. I am also very open to opinions on what college to choose and anything I can do to improve my chances. </p>

I know I'm lacking here.. difficult to find time with the three sports, any suggestions for what else I could get involved in would be aprecciated!!!</p>

<p>Other

-I've been in band since 6th grade and am in my school's top band
-taking Spanish all through high school</p>

<p>I really don't have a good feel of how much I need to do to get into these schools so any input would be great, thank you very much!</p>

<p>Hard to tell your academic performance without SAT/ACT scores</p>

3

<p>I know /: i was a projected 33 ACT of my plan test… As a sophomore I took the PSAT and scored in the top 85% of college bound juniors</p>

4

<p>What score did you get specifically on your PSAT? That might help for chancing so that we could have some idea of a projected PSAT to SAT score.</p>

5

<p>Oh man It was a couple months ago, the percent is what really only stuck. I’ll try to find the papers, I’m getting the idea that the ACT/SAT are very important lol. That being said will the ECs I have now be enough?</p>

6

<p>heck no! ec’s are definitely not developed enough :O</p>

7

<p>Thank you for your input bluenotebook, I’m trying very had in what I’m involved in right now could you please suggest some other good ECs?</p>

8

<p>it’s really hard to suggest them because they can be so varied. it’s really about just finding what you like and running with it (no pun intended).</p>

9

<p>Haha yeah I do enough running with Cross Country and Track. But anyways are you implying I’m unlikely to be accepted to these schools?</p>

10

<p>I think so, yeah. Search the old decisions threads- you’ll get an idea of how insanely amazing candidates who were rejected were.</p>

11

<p>What are some of your interests? You should base your ECs on those.</p>

<p>What do you plan to major in as well? That also can help with what colleges you should be thinking about.</p>

12

<p>You’d be lucky to be behind the grill of McDonalds, or try to go to a 3rd world country for college.</p>

<p>Your ECs are lacking, but let me give you some advice: Don’t go around scrounging for ECs. You shouldn’t just sit back either, but don’t stress yourself out about it. Thinking constantly about what you could possibly do to get an Ivy-worthy resume is good thinking in small amounts, but the best and most impressive ideas come when you’re not searching for them. You just need to stay dedicated to the things you love, and something will come along that you love even more. An Ivy League-attending person, a wanted and prized person, is one who creates, not replicates. You need to give yourself time. Forget worrying about your ECs. They’ll come to you, I promise. Worry about your SAT score. :)</p>
