Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am currently a Freshman at a competitive high school in California and would just like some advice on what to do to make my application stand out before its too late.</p>

<p>ME:</p>

<p>Classes:
2/Trig H: A/A
Bio: A/A
Chamber Orchestra: A/A
PE 9: A/A
Chinese 1 A/A (this class was actually one of the more challenging classes because I am Indian...)
Lit/Write: A/A</p>

<p>EC:
AMC10B (unable to take AMC10A because of transporation issues): 128.5
AIME: 5
DECA: Joined the club 2 weeks before state competitions and got 1st place in my event
Octagon service club: 50 hours
Junior Varsity Basketball starter</p>

<p>Next year, I am going to take the standard courses, except take Physics Honors and Calculus BC.</p>

<p>Over the summer, I am going to attend PROMYS</p>

<p>What are some things I could do to improve my chances of going to Stanford/MIT/Cal Tech as a physics undergrad. I live 15 minutes away from Stanford, so ideally, it would be my preferred school.</p>

<p>My advice to you: get off CC and spend your time actually doing the work that will get you into college. 9th grade is waaay too early to be worrying about this stuff.</p>

<p>Yes, leave this board alone-- you are good as is.</p>
