<p>Hey, I'm a sophomore in High School and ever since I took the PSATs in October I've been a little over excited about going to college. I live in Maryland, and my first choice is Georgetown. I've been reading about everyone here on CC talking about their applications and being chanced and whatnot, so I just want to know if I'm on the right track, and I'd also like to know any tips/advice on the college admissions process.</p>

<p>Also, I'd like to become a lawyer, preferably one that specializes in corporate law, so I'm quite unsure about what my major would be. Political Economy maybe? lol. Anyway...</p>

<p>Grade: 10
GPA: approx. 4.4 weighted
Ethnicity: Asian (Filipino)</p>

<p>10th Grade Course Load:
English II- H
Cisco IT-H
Sports & Entertainment Marketing
French II
Chemistry-H
AP USH
Biology-H
Geometry-H</p>

<p>EC:
Model UN
Football team- freshman year
Guitar (about 4 years now)
Drums
Jiu-Jitsu/Judo
Salutatorian when I was in middle school (idk if that really matters)</p>

<p>That's it. lol. I haven't really been upping my extra curricular activities, but I'm planning to join Key Club, SGA, NHS, FBLA(Future Business Leaders of America) next year. Also, I'm planning to be a peer mediator and do volunteer work at a local nursing home.</p>

<p>Definitely looks like you’re on the right track. My only advice would be to join the activities you want to join in the future as soon as possible so it shows that you’re dedicated to different ECs rather than joining at the last minute. Great that you’re taking challenging courses this year. I’d say you have a shot if you keep up the good work!</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply. [: I’ll try to join the clubs asap. I have another question though. What should I choose for my major if I want to be a corporate lawyer?</p>

<p>Well, I’m going into MSB because I want to go into investment banking. The business school may be the way to go if you want to be a corporate lawyer, but I’m not sure. Try talking to someone at Gtown now or someone from admissions. Sorry I can’t give you a definite answer!</p>

<p>You are definitely on the right track. But don’t forget to have fun in high school alot of people forget that (I did). Also I don’t go to Georgetown, just creepin cause my sister applied EA. I’m from the finger licking good Brown university class of 2014.</p>

<p>Okay, i’ll make sure to have some fun ;). Thanks for the reply btw.</p>
