<p>Hey Everyone :) I accidentally posted this in the wrong section earlier as I am still getting used to the site! </p>
<p>I'm posting this thread because I'm very concerned about getting into the top 15 schools (such as Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Stanford, etc.) and want to know if I am doing enough, as well as what can enhance my application further.</p>

<p>I also have taken a Dual Enrollment course at a local college and plan on taking more courses this semester. </p>
<p>My grades are all As and I have a 4.0 unweighted GPA. My weighted GPA is estimated to be around a 6.5+ at the end of this school year. </p>
<p>Regarding community service, I volunteered at the after school-care in my local elementary school in 9th and 10th grade, as well as volunteered at a Day Care center over the summer. I volunteer at the Hospital nearby and also organized a large bake sale to raise funds for a charity I support and was very successful. I am very active in my ethnic community, (as there is a large organization here) and am the leader of the events planned, as well as a member of the youth board committee. I am the Student Ambassador for a charity that I am very active in--I collected more than 70 large boxes of items that would be sent to an orphanage in India; I helped organize the annual fundraising event; and I traveled to India myself and collected donations to send to the orphanage. I tutor elementary-school students in Mathematics and English on a weekly basis as well. For my large Community Service Project, I have established a summer camp for underprivileged kids to improve their academic grades through a free tutoring service.</p>
<p>Aside from community service, I am very active in clubs at my school. I started a chapter in my school of- and am the President of- Junior Statesmen of America, Secretary of Model UN, Vice President of Future Business Leaders of America, and a member of National Honor Society and Mu Alpha Theta (Math Club). I have won awards at the competitions for these clubs.</p>
<p>Over the summers, I have participated in many summer programs. I took a course at Columbia University (called Approaches to Reading and Writing), two at Georgetown University (International Relations and American Politics), and one at Stanford University (for the Lead America program). </p>
<p>I also participated in a competition called Euro Challenge and traveled to New York to compete as part of the top 20 in the nation. </p>
<p>Alongside the Lead America program, I worked with an economics Professor at a local private university as part of an unpaid internship.</p>
<p>I have yet to take the SAT and ACT, but want a score of 2250+ on the SAT and a score of 34+ on the ACT. I have gotten 4s and 5s on all my AP exams.</p>
<p>In general, this is all that I've done so far. I feel that I have not done enough and am not doing enough currently, and want to add to my resume. I do not have a sport or art that I can consider my forte and am worried that that will hinder me. I hope that I am doing enough both in school and regarding extracurriculars. Is there anything you believe I should add to my activities that will enhance my application and allow for me to stand out?
(I have been wanting to do a large project that can impact the world on a large scale, but am unsure as to how to go about this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!) </p>
<p>I would be glad to receive any feedback. Thank you for your time :)</p>
