<p>Hey, I'm currently a sophomore at a public high school at Houston, Texas. I'm curious to see if I'm on the right track to get into an Ivy League school, and eventually to attend Harvard Law School. </p>
<p>I am currently taking the highest possible classes available for sophomores at my high school (chemistry, algebra II, etc.). I play basketball and lacrosse and will be lettering in both sports. I'm in a club called Humanities, which examines different literary/cultural works (movies, books, poems) and discusses them. I am in an organization which takes on a different community service project for a day each month. Excluding the class I have for basketball and considering the 5 point scale for Pre-AP/AP classes, I had a 4.4 GPA last year and thus far have a 5.0 this year (I'm not exactly sure as to how the GPA system works, so I may be wrong - however, I've been told that both Pre-AP and AP classes are on a 5 point scale, and I would assume that basketball isn't a factor in determining one's GPA). Am I on the right track, and what should I look to do in the near future to improve my chances? Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>You're doing fine so far. Also, you should start studying for the SAT soon, Like in February. Just look over the notes and try memorizing the vocab every weekend or so. Don't study too hard. </p>
<p>You don't seem to be in much EC's. Consider joining more clubs, and if you really like Basketball and Lacrosse, try to be passionate about them. A letter really isn't that big of a deal. Do the things you enjoy doing, rather than doing things you think will impress colleges ( Such as Key Club, or Leadership group, etc ") ALOT of people do those things ,and they often get rejected to someone with lower stats than them, who did something different. Idk what other people think, but thats my opinion based on the results threads here. </p>
<p>Academically wise, and overall you're doing really good.</p>
<p>Looks pretty good, but you are taking Algebra II in 10th grade; thats on level. At my school, everyone in the top 90 are taking geometry, pre-cal, and some are taking AP cal. So keep that on mind. Furthermore a lot of the people applying to ivy's have taken AP calc BC in 11th, then AP stat in 12. Get involved with alternative club...humanities? come on now....its good that ur in a sport, and community service(but thats once a month), find something your really passionate about and stick to it. I mean, lets face it here, there really isnt much to distinguish you from other applicants. Defintley get "real" summer jobs, not flipping burgers but working for an investment or law firm.</p>
