<p>Colleges:
My dream is to go to princeton although i am aware this is highly unlikely therefore my current top school would be Cornell, please tell me if you think my chances are high for this school and if not which schools suit me.</p>

<p>mm. In terms of LD (Or so I assume from UCLA)/Debate, have you placed at the state or national level? That may be something to emphasize.</p>

<p>i qualified to my state tournament my freshman year and as of now my junior year was more of a learning experience because i went in varsity division but next year i should do well i do have an NFL card and have 2 stickers</p>

<p>What you should focus on is showing leadership in your extra-curriculars and volunteering, and make sure to let your interests shine through in your essays and teachre recommendations.</p>
