<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm still a junior in high school, but I want to get a head start on college. NYU Stern is one of my main choices. I plan on being an economics major. To be honest, I did kind of poorly my first two years in high school, regrettably so. My current GPA is about a 3.6, and I have only had 1 AP course so far(I scored a 4 on Modern European History). At the moment I am enrolled in only 2 AP courses. So far this year I'm doing fairly well. I have A's in every class. I'm also taking Calculus at the moment and will be taking multivariable calc my senior year. My extracurriculars at the moment include Junior Statesmen of America(Debate), Model UN, Future Business Leaders of America, and I'm a weekly volunteer at my local hospital. I also attended a summer program at Columbia University last summer for Business, Finance, & Economics.</p>
<p>Ok so here are my plans before applying to college. I plan on becoming an officer in at least one of the clubs I am a member of. I'm competing in an Economics competition through FBLA, so hopefully I'll do well on that and receive some kind of mention. I plan on getting a job once I get my license. I'm going to try to take a credit course at NYU over the summer(probably economics since my school doesn't offer it as a course). I still need to take the SATs. I'm taking SAT II Math IIC in January, SAT I sometime in the spring, and SAT II Physics in June. In my senior year, I plan on taking almost all AP courses. And hopefully by the time I apply to college, my GPA will be at least a 3.7.</p>
<p>So do you guys have more advice as to what I can do to bolster my credentials? Does this plan seem practical in upping my chances in getting into Stern? Any help is appreciated. Thank You.</p>
