<p>Although I have not taken tests such as the SAT and ACT, I would still appreciate some advice on getting into Stanford. I will be entering my sophomore year this coming fall. So far this is my course load and GPA:</p>
<p>Freshman:
Speech, technical reading and writing, video broadcasting, Acc. US history, Acc. biology, Acc. algebra II, orchestra III, Acc. English, Spanish I
GPA: 4.0</p>
<p>Sophomore:
Orchestra IV, Spanish II, AP world history, Acc. chemistry, Acc. pre-calculus, Acc. English</p>

<p>Senior:

<p>I expect to get a 4.0 unweighted GPA the remaining three years of my high school career.</p>
<p>EC: NJHS President, producer of school news broadcast, City Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, Summer Symphony (principle second violin), All State Orchestra, school orchestra (concertmaster), select high school chamber orchestra (travels to perform in Europe), piano (10 years), violin (8 years) </p>
<p>Awards: State Music Teachers Association Festival (first place piano), Mayor's Award to Youth</p>
<p>Community Service: Youth Court (jury member), Philharmonic Debs and Phils Volunteer (usher at philharmonic concerts), State School Board Association (films meetings and presentations)</p>
<p>Other: I'm able to converse, read, and write in Chinese. I've been taking weekly from a private tutor for four years. </p>
<p>Summer: I spend every other summer in Shanghai. In two years I will be going with the Global Leadership Adventures program to Thailand where I will get around 50 volunteer hours in schools and orphanages. I also plan to take the Leadership Academy summer program at Stanford which provides "courses in global studies and strategies for young leaders, activists and entrepreneurs".</p>
<p>Am I on the right track for Stanford? What are some good competitions/ volunteer opportunities/ clubs to participate in? Thank you for all of the help, I really appreciate it!</p>
