<p>i would appreciate any help. my school sent one person to yale last year, other than that, it's mainly ou, osu, and lower echelon private schools. I'm just a junior, but i figure it doesn't hurt to plan ahead. some ecs will be projected to extend to my senior year.</p>

I plan on majoring in poli-sci or something similar</p>

<p>SAT IIs
About to take Literature and math 2. I sort of missed the boat on these because everything in ok is so act oriented and we have so few high achievers around here that i didn't really realize i needed to be taking these.</p>
<p>AP Scores:
Euro history-3 (highest score of anyone at my school last year, and only 2 others got it. we have a terrible teacher and hardly anyone ever passes)
Calc BC-taking this year, should easily be a five
Lit and comp- should be a five
physics- should be around a four, maybe five </p>
<p>Freshman Year
Enriched Biology-B (teacher did not like me, but i recieved higest grade on end of instruction, but can colleges see that?)

ok history/am govt (would have taken enriched, but did not fit in schedule)-A
yearbook staff-A
Enriched algebra 2-B
Enriched world literature-A</p>

<p>I have gone out of my way to take the hardest schedule offered, and have other high school level classes i took in 7th and 8th grade to boost my gpa later. I am in the top ten percent of my class.</p>
<p>I played football last year and would have this year but time did not permit. I ran cross country in ninth grade and have run track since ninth grade. I have not lettered yet but probably will this year in track. My lack of letters comes from the fact that I go to a 6A school that is pretty competitive athletically. I am active in my church and help out during the service every week. I have gone on mission trips with my church to alabama, florida, and mexico. I have been in all the honor societies for as long as possible. I will probably be at least a merit semifinalist. I was on student council in 9th grade. I have a job at a local radio station and could get a glowing rec from my boss. My AP calc and physics are taken through a regional center of the Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics. According to the director of the Oklahoma School of Science and Math, colleges recognize this on application as a tough, college preperatory curriculum. I have done various other things during summers that can augment my application in a pinch. I plan on trying to be a page in dc over this summer. I have a whole year ahead to add to my ecs and academic resume, so if there are any suggestions for good things to do both extra curricular and schedule wise i would appreciate them.</p>
