Just finished junior year, what can I do now?

Applying to College
1

<p>I was wondering, what more can I do as a soon-to-be senior in high school to boost my resume and chances of getting into the college of my choice (basically ivy league)? I just have this feeling that most of my stuff are set in stone by this point lol. </p>

<p>I'm basically finished with my standardized tests, now that June SAT scores have come out (2360 lawlz yay). I don't need to take the ACT, but I do need 1-2 more subject test scores, which I'm thinking of completing in October.</p>

<p>I know there's that obvious college app duty, which I am about to start on lol, but I mean, what else can I do? More volunteering? Start a club? Would those things even help me so late in my high school career?</p>

<p>I'm currently doing research (8 hours/day, 5 days/week for 8 weeks), so I don't have a ton of time, but I am willing to make time for important things, such as preparing for college applications.</p>

<p>Would you just give me some suggestions/tips? I just want to do as much as I can to realize my dreams.</p>

<p>Thank you all!</p>

<p>Hey, I’m in the same boat as you :slight_smile: First to congratulate you for achieving such an exceptional SAT socre! HUZZAH! I’m from Canada and I’m planning my US College applications too. Doing my first SATI in October. Kinda nervous…</p>

<p>From what you’ve posted up, I think you definitely have a great chance, just remember to stand out and really show the areas that you’re interested in pursuing. If possible, try to find as many activities (within the field that you’re interested) as you can during the summer, if at this point you don’t have your summer plans set on stone. I truly believe ECs would make you stand out and demonstrate your true shining point. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
