<p>Ok, I was just wondering if any of you could give me some insight fo rmy chances at my ultimate dream school. First off, I would just like to say, I have only just started my junior year, but i wanted to post, so that you intelligent people can give me some pointers/ideas. Ok so here we go
I go to prestigous jesuit school
i have a 3.8 weighted gpa
so far i have taken 5 honors classes and 2 Ap
all ap for senior year
4 years of football
4 years of baseball
somewhere around 150 hours of community service so far
my last psat was some where around 1700
I'm currently taking a class to try to bump that score up
Ummmm,,,, key club,,,,best buddies,,,,,,National Honors Society</p>

<p>So basically I was wondering mostly of what i should do in the next year to better my chances to my ultimate dream school...</p>

<p>thanks for any help that you could give me
I live in AZ if that helps</p>

<p>you really shouldn't copy and paste the same question about your "dream school" into a bunch of different forums....</p>

3

<p>why not.....dont be a hater</p>

4

<p>with your GPA/SAT your chances are very close to 0.</p>

5

<p>no need to be pessimistic or anything,,,,,nngmm
even if it is the truth</p>

<p>I can't tell from your stats what you really care about. Is there something you've studied, or some activity you have, that you really enjoy? That is something colleges will look for when you apply. Also, have you had any leadership positions? Showing initiative, drive, and leadership are crucial when applying to a top-tier school.</p>

<p>I really enjoy sports medicine....I shadowed around a doctor for about 6 weeks in the summer..and I also take a sports medicine class in high school.. if that helps</p>

<p>Definitely talk about that, then. Talk about why you enjoy it, not just the fact that you shadowed a doctor. Colleges want to know what you like and why you like it. They want insight into who you are. Good luck.</p>
