<p>I'd really like to get into a great school, the Ivies or Top 30. Personally, I think this is a really demanding schedule...the hardest possible classes, except for math but since I'm on a certain "track" I can't switch into anything else. Anyways, for people who are really familiar with the college process, is this demanding enough? Also, any recommendations for what I can do as a junior to help up my chances at a prestigious school? Preferably something involving acting, english, or journalism...</p>
<p>That looks like a great schedule, you’re loaded with APs.
You can try getting involved with local theatres. Why not see if you can volunteer for any children’s programs? Look into local theaters in your area.
Also check out the Scholastic Art/Writing awards. If you write, you could submit pieces. The Gold Key award seems to actually be a pretty nice award to win.</p>
<p>Yes, I’m actually working on something for those awards right now! There are a few theaters in my area, I can definitely check those out. Thanks so much!</p>
