<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>So I'm currently in grade 11 in a school in South Africa. It is a small private high school with about 50 people per grade. I would say I'm the top 10% of my class. it is a very competitive school and I currently have a GPA between 3.85 and 3.91. I do tons of extra curricular activities such as ballet,public speaking,debate,Model UN,drama and play a few instruments to name a few. I have also been captain of a few of my sporting teams and debate team, and currently play touch rugby on provincial level. I have a over 50 hours of community service this year. I am also currently starting up an NGO I am kinda worried that I may be missing a few elements. I want to go to Stanford University or USC. Our school doesn't really offer any AP classes except maths. I want to study and International relations or political sciences BA and I have a year left to really make my application look good. I'm looking towards getting a scholarship. I have a really busy schedule already, but I'm still afraid I wont stand out. Are there any tips from students who are currently in these schools or have been accepted? I'm looking forward to any advice from anyone. Thanks :)</p>
