Hello,
I am a freshman at a prestigious high school in New England, and now I am just trying out how I can make myself the best I can for college. My GPA is 3.95 unweighted, and ouR school does not do weighted GPA’s although I take the most honors classes possible. I take honors french, geometry, and bio, and I think that I enjoy bio a lot and I think that I will major that in college. I also am an avid squash player who is on girls varsity, along with jv crew and varsity cross country. I also play the violin, have been playing in an outside of school orchestra for 7 years so far (3rd level from top out of 10), and am on the high school orchestra as well. I am the founder/pres/leader of a club at our school where we fundraise money from bake sales, along with playing music at elderly homes, in order to raise money for a non profit that uses money to provide instruments and lessons for kids who cannot afford them. I am also a member of the environmental activist club, and I will be the leader by junior or senior year.
Now to the main questions:
Is this a good start/ do I have potential?
In which ways can I do better?
Any suggestions for awards or honors?
Any changes I can make?
Suggestions for EC’s
Also, because I am so interested in Bio, I want to begin to get a better idea and a better character from it. I will take the SAT 2 Bio (probably E), because I am really interested in substantial development and energy being converted to better use. I am interested on the water crisis, and I really am interested in internships but have no idea how to get one. Also, any suggestions on EC’s? I really don’t have enough and I know I’m too young or whatever but I really want to learn as much as possible. My ideal character would be a girl committed to playing the violin along with biology and smart. I have outstanding comments from my teachers, so I think the only thing left is what to do outside of school. I have some ideas for patents, but no idea how those work either. What do people who are really committed to Bio do as EC’s?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me! I am just really confused and puzzled, and I just need some help.
