<p>I'm 15, and aiming to got to an Ivy League college for my undergraduate course.
I know that ultimately it weighs down to SAT scores and stuff, but I just wanted good advice on stuff other than scores.</p>
<p>First off, I'm Asian. So does that count as a negative? Will it affect my chances?</p>
<p>Secondly, there are no AP classes here. Will it make a difference?</p>
<p>And thirdly, here are a list of my extra curricular activities. I have yet to go to college, where I will be able to develop my extra curriculars further for another 2 years (I'm thinking leadership), but is this adequate according to the Harvard book?</p>
<p>I'm really into music, having learnt:
Guitar(s)
Piano
Tabla (a percussion instrument)
I have given exams in these and passed with merit.
I've also been in charge of the school choir, and I sing too.</p>
<p>I write. I've been published in Chicken Soup for the Soul books. I do book reviews (free books!)</p>
<p>As for sports, I have played serious tennis. But I plan to drop this. Is this is a bad idea?</p>
<p>I would really appreciate it if my queries are answered. My parents don't really want me to study abroad, so yeah... I have to do everything on my own. And I would be really grateful if you helped :)</p>
