<p>I'm interested (actually very interested) in going to an Ivy League School. My number one dream university is Yale University and then Harvard. I heard and researched that Oxford is a lot easier to get into so that will be my a college in my "manageable to get into college" list. Oxford because to me, that is the best way to allow myself to become an international business lawyer which is what I want to be.
Here's what I have so far in my two years of high shcool:</p>
<pre><code> I am presently going to ELITE SAT weekend classes to raise my average SAT score from give or take 2000 to raise it up to over 2250.
I was also the mock trial debate club founder and president for one year (I'm going into junior year) because they don't have a mock trial club, team, or anything like that. But since I'm going into another high school, I have only that one year of experience.
I'm also interested in started a tutoring organization in this new high school, a work-like tutoring organization that involves applications, promotions, jobs, departments, secretaries, treasure, and so forth. I even have ideas for an advertisement and legal department :) I have plans to do a lot of volunteering activities with this group at places including the orphanage, foster care, etc and along with the students we will get. (Of course, this might not come but I will do everything I can to get this goal accomplished because I really want this to succeed and not just for my resume either but because I love to teach and hang out with kids).
I would like to run for a student body officer in senior year since I'm not very comfortable running for a "public" office in a brand new school in the first year. I was going to run for commissioner of spiritual life (one of the more respectable and heavier responsibilities than the other commissioners) in my old private high school.
My 2AP scores are very low, both of them 3s, because I was a little too confidant in what was to be expected, but next year I have a detailed plan and goal to take maybe 3 AP Exams and strive for 5s on all of them. And then in senior year I will also take maybe 3 or 4 AP classes and then strive to get 5s and a few 4s on those too.
I am also on my way to the 3rd level of 4 in a Bach Piano Festival that's statewide, very competitive. I also recieved one of the highest scores for my regional Romantic Festival that's only one level (99/100). I'm also taking on the Certificate of Merit- I'm on level 8 right now but next year I will be taking level10. (I failed my first time on taking this test. I recieved the highest score possible on my playing-which was a 5+- but I thought I did really badly and that put me in the mood and couldn't concentrate on taking my theory test- was below the passing grade by 2 points :( ...)
I was in the advanced Band and could have been premier chair in that band next year if I stayed at my old school but i'm moving.
I was lead alto saxophonist for one of my school's two jazz bands. If I can squeeze it in somehow, I would like to take band sometime before I graduate and try out for state or county or southern region honor band but I doubt this will happen since my schedule will be full)
I have volunteered at my church for a total of 3 years (3 years in my Church's Awanas as an assistant leader for 2nd graders and 2 years in my church's band- this year i'm first alto saxophonist). I will also volunteer at a hospital pretty soon. I will also go on mission trips either to Mexico or China depending on if either one or the other will tamper with my school schedule.
I am also taking Forensics in the next two years (I LOVE to debate) and mock trial in the next two years and "We the People"-which I have to say has an extremelly good chance at winning local (national competition was canceled) since my new high school was champions two years in a row or something like that- in either one or both years (I LOVE law!)
I am also taking on robotics and going to participate in the robotic club and use robotics for my science fair. I have already been to regionals and I think my idea plan will have a good chance of getting to state at least.

<p>Now, I know that some of what I wrote are still in the future and not set. But please don't comment about how those might not even come true because I will do everything I can to make them come true since I have been wanting to do this for two years. My old high school was a small private high school and sort of restricted me from doing some of these things. </p>
<p>So there's what I have and what I'm going to do; tHe only problem is my SAT subject tests.
I know the top Ivy League schools only accept those students whose taken at least 3 SAT IIs. But I'm already going onto my junior year and I haven't taken any (one of the disadvantages about going to the small private school- never really told us anything about it). I heard that Subject Tests are much harder than AP tests but I also heard the math tests are easier than let's say chem, physics, and so forth. So i'm going to take SAT Subject Test Math analysis, and perhaps statistics depending on whether I can easily handle that course. </p>
<p>Does anyone recommend a third Subject Test? And when do you recommend it? Junior year or senior year? Unlike what most people at my city has, my senior year will be the busiest with college applications, internship, volunteering, my other AP classes, and so forth. But I hear junior year is the hardest year in high school. So what are your thoughts?</p>
<p>Please don't comment on my so far and soon to be resume as it was not to proudly show you what I've done so far but to prove to you that I believe that I am SUITABLE to APPLY to an ivy league school. I'm not positive of my chances of being accepted but I'm mostly positive that I would not be like those kids who apply to top universities and colleges just because they wanted to without having done nothing about it in their 4 years of high school. I am just wondering what to do about my SAT Subject Tests.</p>
