<p>Hey im a sophmore at a very competitive public school in New Jersey. As of right now, i have a GPA of about 3.0. I really am looking into going into business and really want to go to a good school. My number 1 school would be NYU. I am in 2 clubs (Mock Trial and Filmmaking) and i have been volunteering at many different places since 7th grade. Next year, Im going to be in many honors courses but no AP :(. Next year, I will be in about 5 clubs and hopefully will get good grades. On my PSATs I got a 189, so whatever that means. I just took a SAT II on bio and think I got 650+. Is there anything more I can do?</p>

<li>Take some aps, dont over do it, but take a few in your hs career..</li>
<li>Raise the GPA, 3.0 is kind of low</li>
<li>Have a good sat score....above 1300 and whatever that is on the new scale....</li>
<li>get some leadership position in your clubs.....like president or an officer or whatever.....</li>
<li>What is your rank??? get at least to the top 25%.....</li>
</ol>
<p>Rather than club grubbing- scraping whatever leadership etc you can get, try to focus on what you love and really excel there. Serious accomplishments in a couple of areas that show passion and drive are far more impressive than transparent "leadership" across the board.
In short, don't fake it, focus.</p>
<p>Hahahahaha good luck...</p>
