<p>I'm HS Sophomore. I want to attend Williams, Amherst, Stanford, Yale, etc I think you get the picture. Academically, I'm doing great. I'm taking the most challenging coureseload. I have a strong interset in politics, int'l rel., law. Do u guys know of summer programs or how i can find my hook so i can stand out from other applicants. Also, what kind of awards can I receive to standout in Academics.Finally, my ECs don't have any leadership roles what can I do to show dedication.</p>
<p>well, you have a couple years to get leadership positions. These are key, and they are prominently located on the application. For summer programs, I did NSLC (nslcleaders.org), and it was really great. There are others out there, so do your research.</p>
