Hi! I’m currently a sophomore in high school and I know I still have a bit of time until college, but I’m getting really paranoid.
My reach school is Colgate University,
*sorry if this is in the wrong category!
Here’s a breakdown, by the end of high school, I’ll have:
Freshman year: 4 honors, 1 regular (93 overall average) *unimportant electives
Sophomore year: 2 honors, 2 regular and 1 AP (they forced me to drop into an regular earth science class because they didn’t offer honors) *unimportant electives
Junior Year: 2 honors, 1 regular, 2 APs *electives of college marketing, college accounting & business management
Senior year: 1 honors and 4 APs (taking 2 math courses: Precalc honors and AP stats) *electives of contemporary business SCALE class, DECA
*I always get around a 92-94 overall average (3.9-4.0?)
EC:
Red Cross (secretary, sophomore year) (President senior year)
English Honor Society (secretary senior year)
Science Honor Society
Math Honor Society
Global Honor Society
Business Honor Society
DECA (qualified to states, but could not afford it)
Key Club
(probably will have more board positions)
My dream school is Colgate University, I WILL BE APPLYING EARLY DECISION
I’m Asian and from New York.
I’m aiming to get a 29-31 on the ACT, but who knows what could happen. I know I can get pretty good recommendations and can write a decent essay.
My biggest concern is, will having regular classes affect my chances of getting accepted?
What can I do to better my chances?
Thank you!
