<p>I am not old enough to have a job in my area (central NJ), but I will when I am 16.</p>

<p>Any thoughts and ideas for improvement are welcome.</p>

<p>I also have a business if you could call it that... For less tech oriented friends and family members, I will research and sell their unwanted possessions on ebay. I also find things on ebay that are poorly advertised(particularly musical instruments), buy them and resell them for profit.</p>

3

<p>Do well on SATs. Also, send in a tape of you playing your instruments if you play well.</p>

4

<p>You're about to become a sophmore.</p>

<p>Come back in a year or two.</p>

5

<p>To wayward_trojan - Is sending recordings necessary for only studying music, or is it just another way to make them want me as a student?</p>

<p>To llpitch - It never hurts to be proactive- Besides I can't change the past, so in 2 years, I'll be glad that I did my research and learned about everything I could to help make my application stand out.</p>

6

<p>well is that your unweighted GPA? It's amazing either way. You're on the right track! :D</p>

7

<p>You're in New Jersey where Princeton is just nearby. You're in for serious competition.</p>

8

<p>Does my state and region of residence really get considered?</p>

9

<p>Certainly. But enjoy your life, you're barely going to be a sophmore.</p>

10

<p>Definitely, but I just don't want to regret not having many ECs, etc. in a few when I'm doing my application.</p>

11

<p>Sounds like you've got a shot. Do you think you'll want engineering or liberal arts? Engineering would be tougher since you're a Caucasian male.</p>

12

<p>Most likely liberal arts, but I'm not sure.</p>

13

<p>Good job.
I regret so much right now having ****ed up sophomore and junior.</p>

14

<p>Is your calculus in senior AB or BC (No matter anyways, I gonna do MVC in Senior)</p>

15

<p>I'm not sure, our course selction guide just says AP Calculus.</p>

16

<p>"Feed poor every Friday during Summer
Work in Library during school and during summer"</p>

<p>may want to get more specific with that right? for one thing "feed poor" sounds a little demeaning, though I am sure that is unintentional. if it's through a community or religious program or something, you might mention that. also, if you are volunteering, since it is service, make sure that's specified.</p>

17

<p>Well, its not like I'm sending this in as my application... I was just making a general list.</p>

18

<p>dude chill out im a sophomore too and im not gonna worry about college yet. im just preparing to do well on the PSAT</p>
