<p>Right now I'm only a freshman, but I like to think ahead. I would like to go to a very competitive college, and I was wondering if these courses look good to colleges.

<p>I stopped going to my public school because it was too small, with not enough courses to challenge me. I was set to run out of math courses after the tenth grade, and there were no advanced or AP courses offered.</p>
<p>The Community college classes should balance out some of your curriculum’s disadvantages against an average public school. However, you should also check your EC. :)</p>
<p>You sound like you’re on track to become one of those academic robots with no interests except getting into college. They apply in droves to the most competitive schools, which tend to reject them in favor of applicants who have more balanced lives and interests (not to mention accomplishments).</p>
<p>If you’re homeschooling, you have the flexibility to take advantage of/create community involvement for yourself. Find a few things that may interest you. If you need ideas, look at the Idealist website.</p>
<p>I feel that I do have a pretty balenced life. I sing in an advanced, prestigous choir, ENJOY volunteering at my local library weekly, and volunteer/shadow at a hospital. I play four different instruments and travel to nursing homes to play for the residents. I also swim on the competitive summer team in my town (homeschoolers cannot play interscholastic sports during the school year).</p>
