Over 250 hours of school service
going to do a 3 mile walk to save pre-mature babies and breast cancer (like a fund raiser)
Math team
Math tutoring </p>
<p>Awards:

<p>Any suggestiones?
Thanks
Also i will be taking AP european history and 2 honors clases next year. (10th Grade)</p>
<p>try to raise your gpa and you'll have a shot</p>
<p>"is it going well"... (I appologize if you were not serious, it is sort-of a pet peeve of mine, that and "there is several things")</p>
<p>Looks good so far. Try to think of something unique that you could do. Your ECs are great, but the ivy league sees a lot of amazing people; if you do something to make yourself stand out your chances are much better. Good Luck!!!!</p>
<p>thanks guys,</p>
<p>regarding idamayer respose:
What can i do to make my self stand out from the rest? My interests are along the aerospace and aeronotics engineering line. Is there something i can do that will include my interests but at the same time make me stand out? anything at all...</p>
<p>haha, if ida hadnt pointed out the grammar error, i would have.</p>
<p>As far as chances: 1.) bring grades up slightly
2.) ECs: don't overdo it, but make sure you focus on your interests (prospective major, etc.). A couple of dedicated, related ECs make for one awesome essay.</p>
<p>I am wondering that myself, to some extent. You are lucky that you are starting early, I only started looking at colleges this year, and I feel like its too late for me to do something cool without just looking like I'm doing it for college. Oh well.</p>
<p>Basically, the idea is that you have to come up with something new. I would see about joining the robotics team, getting some internship somewhere. Start a club at your school. Do something you get recognized for nationally. for science-y people, I always hear that a 'hook' is having a patent. tutoring kids in math is a good community service thing, so keep that up. Basically anything that can make you special, go for it.</p>
