<p>Hi,
I'd like to know what it takes to get into Walsh SFS. I'm a freshman in high school, and I know it's competitive, but I'm game for that. What would you guys recommend in:
-classes to take in high school,
-skills to learn and prractice,
-activities to participate in that would broaden my knowledge to be well-suited for SFS,
-anything and everything else?!</p>
<p>Tell me anything! I'm quite interested and excited to learn some more. I really appreciate advice from all of you guys.</p>
<p>My advice is really just not to be worrying about that as a freshman. Don’t set your sights on one university now (and especially not a particular school within said university) when you’ve still got three years to go before you have to apply–a lot will change in that amount of time.</p>
<p>i disagree. i wish someone had given me some kind of advice about this as a freshman. </p>
<p>my advice would be to develop some passion that you have and do something unusual with it. invent something, start a business or a charity, etc. you want to focus on extra curriculars other than ‘editor of the school newspaper’ or ‘basketball captain.’ those things are definitely good, but there are thousands upon thousands of editors of their school’s newspapers. you want something that they havent seen before, and you want to start it now, because you cant start something like this when you’re a junior and you’ve just started to think about college. </p>
<p>also, try to take as many honors classes as you can starting freshman year.
you should take econ if your school offers it. also try to take an interesting language if your school offers it. like chinese or portuguese or something- not french or spanish. everyone takes french or spanish. </p>
<p>if you want to get into the SFS then you should make your big passion thing something to do with that. like something to do with different cultures or something</p>
<p>just so you know, this is all just my opinion. im still just a junior in high school</p>
