wow you say you are a good writer... how about try checking your spelling?</p>
<p>i'm with the majority of posts i've read so far. do what you enjoy, and, if that leads you to HYP, so much the better. planning is good, but you can't live your whole life for tomorrow.</p>
<p>chancing is hard without real SAT scores. and EC concentration helps; schools don't want you to do 30 activities, they want y to do 2-4 very well, with leadership, awards, and, most importantly, passion. piano and viola will help you there.</p>
<p>and you really can't assume that you'll be NMF, AP Scholar, etc. a lot can happen to interfere with your plans.</p>
<p>i wish you the best of luck, but, seriously, take some weekends to just hang out. don't let high school slip your fingers.</p>
<p>stop telling people to check their grammar, this is the internet :)</p>
<p>i think you're on the right track basically, but its kinda hard to tell with so much projected information. so yeah...do well in school, make good teacher connections, right good essays. </p>
<p>oh yeah, dont take environmental science, take physics XD
i dont think college really care abt classes like envsci, psych, or human geography. but yeah, you could always just self study those 3 anyways...if anything do it this year or your junior year so it'll show up. macro is self-studiable also.</p>
<p>You look like a strong candidate, although I'd cut down on some of "lunchtime" clubs like French and World Awareness and Film.
Because it looks like you've exhausted every resource at your school, you might also try some academic summer programs.
Good Luck!</p>
<p>Really? I thought being in French and World Connections <em>strengthened</em> my passion for languages and cultures, etc since I'm doing 6 years of French plus the summer exchange program. </p>
<p>Which academic summer programs would you recommend? Like those offering HS credits?</p>
<p>Your EC's and AP's may seem that you're just clogging every ounce of your power into trying to inpress the adcoms and not having your own fun. You're ECs are spread everywhere and they don't have a main theme, other than that, you're a GREAT student.</p>
