High School Freshman

Colleges and Universities A-Z Stanford University

<p>Seeing that I am currently a Freshman in a public High School, what would I have to do to theoretically get into Stanford, or a school of the same caliber. </p>

<p>I'll just briefly describe what I'm doing at the moment.....</p>

<p>Currently taking the maximum course load with a 4.0 unweighted and planning to continue this trend through-out the remainder of high school/subsequent summers. I have club soccer with many awards/trophies and cycling also with awards and medals. I'm a SIT council and Med. Club member(Eventually will become president). Class president is also in my future. Working with my principle and cycling coordinator to create the first ever a Cycling Team at my school. I've volunteered at the local VA for 50hours and counting, including a weekly-biweekly one vs one session with the head of the necropsy division(aka Morgue) in which we dissect particular body parts and perform documented autopsies. I'm also in the works of associating with researchers from the local university, Stanford.</p>

<p>Any advice on how to plan out the rest of my three and 1/2 years left of high school would be greatly appreciate.</p>

<p>P.S. I'm looking into the medical profession.</p>

<p>Honestly, you should do what you love to do, and not because it will "help you get into Stanford". All of my friends told me to take sports, but I refused (its not for me). Don't paint a false picture. If you don't like to lead a lot, then don't, if you don't like to play sports, then don't...etc. Just do what you want to do and let the admissions team sort out the rest in 3 years. That's what I did. Present yourself for who you truly are. That is the best advice I can give.</p>

<p>^agreed. Don't participate in an activity just to impress admissions officers.</p>

<p>None of these, besides maybe Class President and being 1/4 student SIT council memebers, are intended to only impress an admissions officer. I understand where you are coming from though.</p>
