<p>I'm currently a freshman at my highschool, class of 2016.
So this is my schedule right now:</p>
<p>Chemistry Honors
Health (1st sem)/ PE (2nd sem)
Orchestra
English 1 Honors
Pre-Calculus Honors
Spanish 1</p>
<p>Next year schedule:</p>
<p>AP Physics B
English 2 Honors
AP World History
AP Calculus AB
Engineering Design 1a (1st sem)/ Engineering Design 1b (2nd semester)
Spanish 2</p>
<p>I could always switch out of those engineering (occup) classes to take AP Chemistry, but even the smartest kids in our school get D's and C's in that class (the hardest class at my high school).</p>
<p>EC:</p>
<p>Chess Club
Math Team (secretary/treasurer next year)
Academic Coaches (tutoring peers club)
NHS (next year)
Tutoring elementary/middle school students in math with pay</p>
<p>Should I do Key Club next year? I mean I don't think it'll be very hard but I've heard it's just such a universal club it's not even worth it to join.
I'm barely in the top 10% of my class (my class is extremely competitive with grades).
I aspire for those Cal-tech/claremont/harveymudd/MIT (dream) schools.</p>
<p>Any suggestions? Clubs/classes to drop? Clubs/classes to join?
Also I score around 2100 on mock SAT exams, and around a 31-32 composite on ACT exams (perfect on math, often 1 wrong in science). Should I gradually prepare for the SAT or ACT?</p>
