<p>I'm still "young" (14, almost 15; going to be a sophomore), but I want to know... if I'm on the right track so far.</p>
<p>wealthy public school in LongIsland, NY
asian female
rank: school doesn't rank, but about 5/~530</p>
<p>ACADEMICS
9th grade [I'm only including academic courses]:
English 9 Honors A+
Biology Honors A+
Research Honors A+
AP World History A
Math 10 Honors A
French 2 Honors A
[all the rest-- electives, whatever, were A+]</p>
<p>ECs
Science olympiads (won 2nd place at regional level; going to have a position next year)
Photo club (secretary)
Jazz band pianist
TRI-M
Varsity Swim team
Violin and Piano: A+ for state music exams
volunteering at local hospital for 50 (I'll get more-- I still have a few years before I apply) hours
Finalist for national photo competition (top 5% of entries)
Women in Science award for excellence in biology (this is probably going to be considered a "stupid" award.. but 9th grades just do not get a lot of awards. It was 2 out of the entire class.)</p>
<p>STANDARDIZED TESTS
Biology M SATII: 770
AP world history: 5</p>
<p>I took the SAT in seventh grade, and got around a 760+ for verbal and ... something bad for math. (~550). The math will probably improve-- it's just that I never learned the material yet.</p>
<p>I intend to make all-state for violin, and maybe piano. I will probably come to be president of the science olympiads and win more awards in that; I will maintain activity in all of my current clubs/ecs; my grades will probably get higher (more A+s....) in all of the most advanced courses available.; Um. Maybe I'll try for Intel/Westinghouse. Each year there are about one to three semifinalists/finalists from my school.
Writing and photography are also my strong points; so maybe I will win some writing / photo contests.</p>
<p>for the past record: my school typically sends 2 students to Harvard, ~3 to princeton, a lot to cornell, 3 to columbia, 1 to MIT... yeah. They all scare me.</p>
<p>I'd really appreciate your opinion and suggestions. Thanks !</p>
