High School Freshman What Can I Do?

Applying to College
1

<p>Ok I am am currently a freshman an Im wondering what i can do to get into a good college. I would really hope to get into MIT or Stanford but I know that they are both really selective schools.</p>

<p>My school runs on a 4x4 block which means that I take a whole year class in a semester but we only have 4 classes each semester.
this year (freshman) im taking
Semester 1 Semester 2
ENS 1-2 ENS 3-4 (ens is basicly health + pe)
Algebra 3-4 Honors High School English 1-2
Physics 1-2 AP Physics B

<p>assuming i get an A in all classes i should get a weighted 4.4 gpa</p>

<p>I am also a member of the robtics club and cybersecurity club. I might join the debate team but it has not begun yet.</p>

<p>I haven't done a lot of community service so any ideas are welcome</p>

<p>If there is anything you might change i would love to hear about it</p>

<p>If you can take all of those classes and receive an A in them, you are going to be very well off. You will pretty much be able to pick where you go.</p>

<p>However, make sure you get involved in at least one activity that you stay in for all four years. Colleges like to see consistency, and that a person took advantage of leadership opportunities. Definitely do debate club and other activities that interest you.</p>

<p>Also definitely work on community service or volunteer work. A smart student, who is involved in activities, and does volunteer work is the whole package. Good luck!</p>
