<p>I know this might sound foolish, but i really want to go to Stanford or MIT or UPenn, i know that you might be saying that i am utterly hopeless but hear me out. I am currently taking all MYP classes (computer sci, alg2/trig, eng 10, chem, ap comp & gov, spanish 3, HPE10 and i'm going to be taking ap macroecon and psych online) and next year i'll be taking all IB courses and maybe 1 ap course online. I'm also a member of multiple clubs but i don't know which are the most valuable. So what should i do, am i hopeless or have a little bit of shot. And I'm a tenth grader, my GPA in freshman year was 3.711. I know it's bad but i got a very bad start at the beginning since i was foolish and stupid at the beginning.
PS
ALL right, i think i'm in the right forum. Dui bu dui.</p>
<p>Dui. I think you'll do fine. You're only a sophomore, so you have plenty of time to boost your GPA. Just keep up the good work. :)</p>
<p>^ Yeah. You have more time than most people on this site. </p>
<p>In addition to boosting your GPA a little [a 3.7 Freshman Year is fine] and taking the most challenging courses you can [which it looks like your doing :)], you might want to consider narrowing down your list of "multiple clubs". Colleges would rather see a kid who's very devoted to and really enjoys taking part in 2-3 clubs, with leadership positions in a couple of them, than a student who's just a member of many clubs. More information about that can be found in this thread:</p>
<p>You are far from hopeless.</p>
