Hello everyone I am in my sophomore year of highschool and Stanford is my dream school. Freshman year wasn’t that great in my opinion. I was taking AP Human Geography and AP Biology. I scored a 5 on the human exam and a 2 on the Biology (definitely not the class for me). I finished freshman year with a 3.6 weighted gpa and a 4.0 weighted. In terms of extracurriculars, I lettered freshman year for varsity golf and we won districts. I also am doing preap art and I am thinking of doing AP art next year and maybe even applying for some art schools just for curiousness. Sophomore year I am taking all preap classes with varsity golf and I am taking AP World History. I definitely see that I have an interest in History at this point in my life. It is just so interesting and eye opening to me. I aim to make straight a’s this year and so on. If I continue this path will I be on the right track? (I will also be doing NHS after sophomore year) P.S. Golf is a huge part of my life, I have been doing it since I can remember. I had a major knee injury in in 6th grade and wasn’t able to play again till 9th.
Also, this could be a huge part of my chances or it could not matter at all which is why im asking. My father happens to be a multimillionaire. He basically made himself but he is in no way willing to donate any sort of money to a university.
So, you’ll be full pay. It won’t help at Stanford but it should help you by making sure you attend a good school, have opportunities to prep for Sat and sat subjects, have a college consultant, etc.
