My best tip for you would be to join extracurriculars that you’re passionate about, not just to have on a college application. This really stands out if you get involved versus just having a bunch of items on a list. Also, if there’s not something you’re passionate about at your school, maybe go out in the community! Are you planning on taking more AP’s? That’ll raise your GPA. I watch a girl on youtube,https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfPD1zaPa3maPdGhrke68Qw , and she got a full ride to NYU and other schools, so maybe watch some of those videos and see what her tips are? Otherwise, apply for scholarships on sites like Unigo or Cappex as well!
My tip for you for full ride is : try to really study up for the PSATs and make sure your school offers it in September. You can get $ if you score high enough, plus at a lot of mid-tier schools (Baylor, etc.) they’ll put you in the honors dorm and give you full ride to their school of you get National Merit. Try to get involved in more clubs/have a productive summer.
