<p>hey guys im new here and really want to get into an ivy league or high caliber school. im a frosh in hs right now and considering that im still young, i thot to be proactive so i can actual achieve my goals.

Spanish 2 lvl 1
Bio Lvl 1
Algebra 2 Lvl 1
Geometry lvl 1
intro to biz lvl 3 (only level available)
photography lvl 3 (")</p>
<p>i also have ec's</p>
<p>spanish club
poetry club
robotics team
fbla (wont be able to compete this yr :( )
DECA
model un
and a lot of others but i cant think of htem right now.</p>
<p>lvl 1 means its an honors class.</p>
<p>first mp i got mostly a's with 2 b's
and in my algebra 2 class i got a c ://///
butt int he second mp ive worked harder on algebra 2 and have a b int here, but i have a c in geometry, mostly a's and b's. but we still have time till the end of the mp, so im working hard to pull it up. i jsut did bad on one test :((((. </p>
<p>but otherwise its fine i think. so far all of my end of semester grades are either a or b averages. but i dunno what steps to take or etc to get myself up for those colleges.</p>
<p>Taking honours courses is fine… but try to take AP, preferebly IB courses (if offered), at your high school. Try to maintain mostly As and the occasional Bs don’t hurt too much. Some top schools don’t even look at Freshman grades so if your grade 9 is weak, don’t worry too much. Where do you live? I like to tell everyone this but remember that while the Ivy leagues are good, there are many other schools to consider (if you want North East, then Tufts, Brandeis, Boston College… if you want south:Emory, Rice, Duke… if you want west: USC, many LACs)… I don’t expect you to remember these names but realize that along with applying for Ivies, also apply to a wide range of schools… but seriously, don’t worry about this sort of stuff now… just concentrate on doing the best you can at school and stay active in some ECs! good luck!</p>
<p>the only reason i say ivy is cus my whole family has gone ivy (mom and bro went/go to upenn) and my dad came from internat. so theres a ton of pressure, and i also realllllyy wanna go to penn or stanford. haha. but i know theyre not everything. i would like to go to nyu berkely yale usc etc. but those are my goals. </p>
<p>not my man concentration but int he back of my mind, just so that i can be prepared forwhen the time comes. lol </p>
<p>and yeah ill take ap but im taking hte top level frosh courses, and you cant take ap as frosh. </p>
<p>also what schools dont look at frosh grades?</p>
