<p>Hey Guys,</p>
<p>I'm currently a high school junior in NJ and was wondering what I could do to improve my chances at getting in to a top school. I also have some other questions to follow. Here's my current app:</p>

SAT II: I'll take Math and Physics...any suggestions?
GPA: 96W so far...hopefully 100+ by end of year (I know its low)
Rank:top 10%, but I don't know specifics
Other Tests (AMC, AP, IB):
Junior Year: AP Physics B, AP English 1, AP Comp Sci, AP Calc AB
Senior Year: AP Physics C, AP English 2, AP Spanish, AP Calc BC</p>
<p>Recs: Most likely my teacher who worked at Columbia
Supplementary Material: WHAT IS THIS???
Summer Activities: Work</p>
<p>Location: NJ (No, I'm not a guido)
High School Type: Small/ Medium Public

<p>Awards: Hopefully I'll win the NJ TSA competition for game programming, does anyone know of any science competitions in NJ?</p>
<p>Other: I've been working on my own company, which is still in VERY early stages haha, which focuses in on Science, Tech, and Programming. It includes an okay blog, and a website I'm still building.</p>
<p>Questions:
How do I get scientific work published? (mostly theoretical physics stuff)
If I don't get it published, do colleges see it as valid?
Are there any other ECs you recommend?
What summer activities look good?</p>
<p>THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
