<p>I am currently a sophomore at a very highly ranked public high school on the East Coast, and I am curious as to where I stand concerning my "track." I sometimes feel inadequate compared to some people, and I know I am not the strongest, but Id love to know your guys's opinions:</p>
<p>Class List:</p>
<p>Honors Chem (so far pretty easy)
Honors Algebra 2 (same as chem)
Honors French 4 (im very good at french- I won the excellence award last yr)
Italian 2 (also very good- languages are my "thing" also got the excellence award in this)
Honors English (easy)
AP US History (not sure how Im doing so far- its pretty challenging but I enjoy the material)</p>
<p>Grades from Freshmen Yr:</p>
<p>Honors Bio : B+ (EW)
Honors Geomrety: B (double ew)
English: A- ( i slacked off in the beginning of the yr)
History A- (same reason as english)
Italian 1: A
French 3: A+ </p>
<p>(i know freshman yr not too impressive)</p>
<p>So far my unqeighted GPA is around a 3.65...which i know is horrid. very frustrating but I am working really hard to improve that to at least a 3.8</p>
<p>ECs:</p>
<p>Youth Club at local museum (we organize museum events and such- women that runs volunteering loves us)
I take Arabic classes (love languages)
My friend I run an organization which donates prom dresses to less fortunate girls (leadership?)
I am a member of a troupe at school that goes to old peoples homes and such and perfumes music for them (but I am not in school band or on a school sport team, however I played softball for 10 yrs prior)</p>
<p>I am half asian, half white. I guess an upper class family but no where near millionaires</p>
<p>Its hard for me to self assess myself bc I am a perfectionist and never feel "done"</p>
<p>my french and italian is pretty fluent, and I want to work on getting the awards again. </p>
<p>I havent taken the PSAT- thats in october. please dont take my freshman grades too seriously- i am capable of so much more, I just simply slacked off freshman yr and didnt have the right study skills. I really enjoy studying the languages and my volunteer work.</p>
<p>I feel as though I am not particularly interesting, But it is my dream to go to an Ivy or top 15 college. </p>
<p>Am I on the right track for the Ivies/colleges similar to the ivies?</p>
<p>Please be brutally honest!</p>
<p>thanks a lot - greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>xx</p>
