<p>I know this site is often for the arrogant to boost their already haughty behavior, but I actually would like to know before anyone yells at me to stop being so full of my self.</p>

<p>This is my first thread.</p>

<p>I'm currently in 8th grade, it has always been my dream to go to Harvard...but in reality I would be so happy if I got into anything from Stanford to Rice or Berkeley.</p>

<p>First, I was looking through some forms and I saw that some people say math classes don't really effect people.</p>

<p>If I take BC Calculus Freshman Year (Which I'm planning to) and supposedly get a 5 wouldn't it help to get into MIT or CalTech?</p>

<p>Secondly, would it be too late to start advancing in a sport right now?</p>

<p>Is theater help with college applications?</p>

<p>Does starting a new club help?</p>

<p>Thank's guys. :]</p>

<p>“Is it good if I take advanced classes?”
“Is it good if I succeed at something?”
“Is it good if I show initiative?”</p>

<p>The answer to all your questions is obvious.</p>

<p>No. Nobody, especially HYPS, likes a try-hard. They prefer natural geniuses who slack through high school but are actually really smart. The best way to convey this in an essay is to blame poor marks on the fact that you are above the school. Confidence is key.</p>
