<p>Course-wise, EC-wise, or other? Any advice for the incoming class of 14?</p>
<p>None except if you are in 8th grade. GET OFF OF CC!!! We’ll welcome you back with open arms in 2 or 3 years but for now stay away and don’t stress about colleges and stuff!</p>
<p>Yeah, just stop worrying about college until you’re older. 
<em>is a hypocrite</em> As long as you take challenging courses, participate in EC’s you’re passionate about, etc, you don’t have anything to be nervous about until senior year. But then…<em>gulp</em> Haha. J/k. Sorta…</p>
<p>^ How old are you?</p>
<p>Me? <em>shifty eyes</em> Old enough to watch PG-13 movies.</p>
<p>Lol. Getting serious here…I’m a rising sophomore. :)</p>
<p>I’m a rising senior but…
gotten involved with theater
been more outgoing</p>
<p>Other than those things, I’m really happy. My guidance counselor seems to think I’ll do well with college admissions so I’ll get back to you in a few months.</p>
<p>I’m going to be a senior and I guess my only regret was taking APHG when I could have took honors world geography because it stupid people were getting 100’s in that while I was getting low B’s in APHG. I also regret tanking my freshman year.</p>
<p>Its hard to set yourself up for success when you don’t know what to expect, but just set yourself up to start of in a way you won’t regret. We can’t help you when you don’t even know yourself (in terms of post high-school goals, etc.), which you expect to learn more about as you actually experience high school. Think about the future, but don’t let it dominate you.</p>
<p>I’m a rising junior…
Played 2 sports that I didn’t really enjoy</p>
<p>Joined my first intention robotics and loved it.
Starting a math club.
Doing MUN
and It’s Academic.</p>
<p>Also, step your academic work up. If you want to be rigorous, do it freshman year. The 1st year is no time to slack.</p>
<p>i wish i’d grown up in high school so i didn’t get hit so hard in college</p>
<p>meaning i should have talked to people / formed relationships / had a life instead of studying all day and obsessing over learning differential equations</p>
<p>…on the plus side, now i know differential equations</p>
<p>but it really didn’t have to be a tradeoff</p>
<p>mmm, taken that damn dual-credit chemistry class so I won’t have to take chemistry in college</p>
<p>otherwise nothing really, I’m happy</p>
<p>I wish I wasn’t as stoic and tense as I am now. I can see why I’ll never have a girlfriend…</p>
<p>Na, I am basically perfection personified.</p>
<p>I’m a rising Junior, but I wish I would have tried my hardest my freshman year.</p>
<p>Yes. I wish I had gone to a different school.</p>
<p>More ECs: more involved w/ NHS (become an officer, etc.), start a Model UN club, more volunteer hours, etc.</p>
<p>More work experience: I haven’t held an “official” job yet, although I have worked informal jobs for money before (ex. working for a friend).</p>
<p>More time spent on SAT/ACTs: Academically, this is the only area I’m disappointed in. I am very capable of getting top-notch scores (I’m thinking 35+ ACT, 2250+ SAT) but I have only put in a combined two weeks of work for both. Granted, my scores are still very good (33 ACT, ??? SAT that I just took June 5).</p>
<p>More time spent with friends: I do spend some time with friends, but as they all graduated this year I realized it wasn’t enough.</p>
<p>The first three are partially because I want to get into some of the greatest colleges out there, such as Yale and WUSTL, and I know that I’m capable of being successful, but I don’t know if my application will look strong enough.</p>
<p>The first three are also partially just my own wishes; up until early Junior year (I’m a rising Senior) I didn’t really care much for things related to my school and community. I just wanted to get my As and chill with friends or alone. Now I’m opening up and doing more and I really regret the “late blooming,” if you know what I mean.</p>
<p>I’m a rising senior. </p>
<p>I wish I didn’t worry so much about school.</p>
<p>Don’t do EC’s because you think colleges will like them. Engage in activities that you love.</p>
<p>Have a social life.</p>
<p>Get straight A’s :]</p>
<p>Wear a Superman costume on the last day at my school. I wish I had done that.</p>
<p>^that would be pimpin’ except some friends kinda just wore capes one day, I don’t know why, it was kinda odd</p>
<p>I think everyone should regularly dance badly and sing down the halls, I think I did that twice a week with friends, and a lot more on the last weeks.</p>
