<p>I'm a high school junior, and I have been to three different high schools already. I was quite involved in school but I have not really been involved in national competitions, etc. and I don't have any "wow" kind of awards that would make me stand out. I really want to go to Harvard. I am doing community service and I am involved in couple of clubs I really care about. anything I should do more to enhance my application my senior year besides test scores and grades/GPA?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>3 high schools huh - must have been tough! (maybe the foundation of a good essay?) Advice - I'm no expert, but having browsed through CC for the last year or so, here's what I got:
Starting any new ECs at this stage won't give you the "depth" most admissions folks look for, so just focus on the clubs you already are a member of;
Make sure you identify teachers who know your situation and will give you A+ recommendations;
Shine in your grades/SATs, take the most rigorous courses in your HS; and finally
COMPETE - no matter what anyone says, rankings (specially national or international) are a great way for admissions folks to measure you against your competing peers</p>
