<p>Ok so I've wanted to be a neuro surgeon since second grade and no matter what, I will be one, and I know it doesnt really matter what college you go to as long as you do your best, but we all know that the college name is pretty important. I'm aiming for hopkins, dartmouth, cornell, harvard (i kno, long shot)...</p>

<p>I am currently a high school sophomore at South Brunswick High School. </p>

<p>GPA: 3.8 weighted</p>

<p>Current (main) courses:</p>

<p>Honors (college) physics
AP Calculus (AB)
US History Honors
English II Honors
Spanish II</p>

<p>Next year I plan on taking AP chem, human anatomy honors, AP English IV, AP stat, spanish III honors...</p>

<p>Clubs/extra curriculars:</p>

<p>-Model United Nations (officer next year)
-Asian club
-Medical Futures club
-NHS (next year)
-Youth Council ((volunteering) until senior yr., +120 hrs)(maybe officer next yr)
-Volunteer at St. Peters Hospital</p>

<p>I have won several awards for honor rolls and presidential award for academic excellence. </p>

<p>I kno it is hard to tell with such little information, but I am only a sophomore so i couldnt provide SAT's, etc. Also, i did not list ALL colleges i plan on applying to so if you have any suggestions of where I should apply, I would greatly appreciate it.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>im glad that your starting to take med based classes (anatomy). challenge yourself, but remember, your still a sophomore. death is yet to come.</p>

<p>thanks for the input so far. i really appreciate it.</p>

<p>i need to find out if im in the top 5, i dont think our school gives us our rank, although i can ask my counselor. Im probably in the top 10% if not 5, my school is very competitive. We even have sophomores taking multivariable calculus...</p>

<p>yeah so anyway, anyone else? suggestions?</p>
