<p>i'm only in 10th grade but i need advice please:) what else should i be doing?</p>
<p>You asked how to "secure" your place? Well you have a few options...</p>
<p>a) get daddy a cabinet position
b) become REALLY good at golf and get recruited
c) start sending some BIG checks in right now- it might take a few to get noticed
d) trace your family lineage to find out you are half Cherokee
e) get your parents to go to Yale right now and graduate FAST... that way you can have extra legacy by the time you apply</p>
<p>If you do ALL of these things you might get a spot.</p>
<p>Honestly you're looking fine. No one can garuntee a spot or tell you what to do but you're on the right track! Sports- check. Great grades- check. Leadership- check</p>
<p>^ Hm, Mal has some good suggestions. You should also have your parents fund the building of an additional library, and agree to name it after the dean of admissions. Your chances will definitely begin to look up.</p>
<p>But yeah, you're only in 10th grade and you still have a better chance of getting in than I do. Lighten up! :)</p>
