<p>Hello everyone, </p>
<p>I want to go IVY or similar schools (Stanford, MIT, ect.) Can anyone help me by suggesting things to do to improve chances and tell me if I am on track? Knowing some stuff to do, specific EC's, tips all help! And also...please don't think I am bragging...I am really not trying to be conceited...I just want to give you info so you can help me! Thanks :)</p>
<p>Here are my "Stats" so you can get an idea of who i am and direct me accordingly. You do not have to read this if you have a general tip.</p>
<p>Currently a HS Sophmore</p>
<p>Took SATs: 2350 (770 math, 800 reading, 780 writing)...the highlight of my application but very typical at Harvard. ;(
Enrolled in 3 AP classes this year</p>
<p>GPA: hoping for 4.5 gpa this year b/c second semester isnt out yet</p>
<p>I have 125 hours or so over the course of last summer...over 100 is for a cancer organization</p>
<p>clubs-8 clubs</p>
<p>No leadership positions...=(.....yet</p>
<p>EC's: swimming...(2 yrs) No awards so not helpful? Might drop to take 5 AP's next year...</p>
<p>Band (4 yrs of experience)....but need space in schedule to take 5 AP's this year...i am average at a public schools= no help</p>
<p>Only one award...community service award-for doing over 100 hours in a summer. </p>
<p>I Wanna become engineer....maybe bio-engineering?</p>
<p>For the junior yr schedule...AP chem, AP English language/comp (might will kill me!), AP enviornmental science, Calculus BC, AP US history, French 3.</p>
<p>I want to take 5 AP's to get 8 AP's done by junior year so I can get a National AP scholar award...classes above are pretty fun (except english...but I need it in college) and I can't decide which one to eliminate.</p>
