<p>Curruently I am a sophmore looking for colleges I should apply to.</p>
<p>Rank: 21/112
GPA: UW: 91.9/100 or 3.77 W:4.0
Classes: Right now I am taking H. Geo/Alg2, H. U.S History, H. Anat/Phys, Amer. Lit, Art App., Spanish 2, and Religion.</p>
<p>As a junior I will be taking all honors and one AP class. I haven't tooking SAT or PSAT yet.
I run indoor/ outdoor tack and cross country. I am also in alot of clubs newspaper, mock trial, model un, Chess/Game club, history club, youth club, biology club, tech club, drama
club and work in a bookstore.</p>
<p>To prepare for the best colleges, you need to continue to work hard at your classwork and get the best grades you can while still being active outside of class in several things that interest you. It is not necessary to be in every club just for the sake of building a list of activities. Don’t worry, just yet, about where you will go to school or where you can get it. It is too early to start predicting what schools will be a good fit for you.</p>
<p>You probs wont make it to an ivy league… unless you are at a magnet school, you need to be in the top 5 in your class, have a gap of around 3.95 or better, and score very high on the sat. You also need to be taking a more advanced language and higher math usually. Sorry to be so harsh, but Ivy chances arent too high. You seem to have a good shot at state schools though.</p>
<p>So what do you say have I have to do to get into ivy league?
Also, I am taking H. Spanish 3 and H.Latin 1-2.
By senior years I will be taking H. Calus.
I will be taking college classes over at private college.</p>
<p>Grades are the most important factor for top schools. You say that you are currently towards the bottom of the second decile in your school class. At most high schools, if you remain at the bottom of the second decile in your senior year, your GPA would be of range for ivy league schools. But, you are not even halfway through high school, so you have some time to move your rank up. Focus on getting great grades and take the most rigorous courses available. Even if ivies are a long shot, you will have plenty of great college choices if you continue on your current path.</p>
