<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. </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. 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. 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>
