<p>I'm 16 and a current sophomore in high school. I would love to go to Princeton, and attend their school of architecture. The only thing is, Freshman year I played around, and ended with 2.8. This year though(sophomore year) I have taken it quite seriously. I've been getting 3.2+ on every report card so far, and have challenged myself to 1 AP class( this year ) and the rest of my classes are honors, except for band, Spanish(no honors available), weight lifting and math; I have had a total of 8 classes this year. I'm a basketball player; playing varsity next year , I have had up to AT LEAST 7 hours of community service , I don't really get in trouble; I have my days though of course, but no referrals or anything, and I'm a minority. Is there anything else that I need to do in order to stand out and get accepted? GPA wise, Grades, Classes, extracurricular activities, etc. ANYTHING that would give a better chance at getting accepted. Also, is there anything extra I should put on my résumé, and what to do when I apply to stand up. Any help is welcomed but mostly accepted Princeton student and graduates.
Thank You </p>
<p>As a sophomore, your biggest goal right now should be to improve your GPA. Everything else is secondary to that. </p>
<p>To get into Princeton you need incredibly good ECs, fantastic test scores, a great GPA, hard classes and perfect essays and even then you may not get in. Lower your expectations a little and make a more realistic goal. By the way a 3.2 is not very good.</p>
<p>what race are you?</p>
