<p>I am going into my junior year in high school My top two dream colleges are Stanford and Columbia, though I’d prefer Stanford. but I will apply to all Ivies, and most Ivy-like schools.</p>
<p>I have an unweighted GPA of 3.93 and am ranked number nine out of three hundred eighty in my class. I probably would be higher, but my freshman year was a little shaky. Though I haven’t taken the SAT yet, I hope to get over a 2200, though my actual goal is a2400.</p>
<p>I took AP World History and got a 3, unfortunately. Throughout high school, I plan to take AP: Calculus, US History, French, Biology or Chemistry, English 3, English 4, Government, Economics, Psychology, and Music Theory.</p>
<p>I am president of my school’s French Club, in French National Honor Society, National Honor Society, Student Council, and will be in Varsity Tennis next year. I plan to join HOSA, as I decided I would like to be a doctor, Key Club, and the Academic Team. I realize I should have joined these earlier, but I recently revised my priorities.</p>
<p>Every year, I volunteer at a camp where we fix houses for those in need, and Bible School at my church. I am also part of a mission group at my church. I also volunteered for a program for kids, in my church, for part of freshman year.</p>
<p>I don’t have many awards. I was Freshman Girls Singles District Champ. I might have been JV this year, but I tore my ACL. I have had perfect attendance nine years of my life. I was also nominated for the Chemistry Pre-AP Award, but I didn’t win.</p>
<p>I also have played piano for eleven year, but only taken lessons for eight of those. I have also taken drum lessons for three years.</p>
<p>I don’t know if this makes a difference but I am black. I was born in England and moved here when I was about five. My dad says that it might hurt me, because I wasn’t born in the US, but I don’t know.</p>
<p>I know this is quite long, but if you could give me advice on how to stand out, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!</p>
