How am I doing so far?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

I’m a freshman in high school right now. I want to go to Fordham U or Barnard College. I have a 4.09 GPA and am ranked 19/507.

My schedule is:

Honors English 9
Intro to Web/Physical Education
Honors Environmental Science
Honors Algebra 2
Honors Biology 1
Spanish 2
Theatre Arts

I am in Spanish Club and Student Council. I’m also doing track. Over the summer I’m going to get a job at the library and volunteer at a hospital. Next year I’m also doing soccer and/or color guard. How am I doing to be on track for those colleges?

Sounds like you’re doing well! As you continue in high school, continue pursuing honors and AP courses and involve yourself in school organizations, leadership roles, sports, volunteer opps, and internships. These extracurriculars will help you when writing your essays for college.Good luck!
