Hi, I’m new to College confidential and hope to hear some feedback. I currently attend a college preparatory school, although I attended a public school freshman year. I’m not including physical education, health, or fine arts classes, got A’s in those.

Freshman (at old school with no A+'s and no AP’s for freshmen):
GPA (unweighted): 4.0
GPA (weighted): ?
Honors Biology: A
Honors World History: A
Honors Algebra II/Trig: A
Honors English 9: A
Honors PLTW (intro STEM class): A
Latin I: A
Contemporary Computing: A

Sophomore:
GPA (unweighted): 4.33
GPA (weighted): 4.6
Honors Chemistry: A+
AP World History: A+, 5
AP Calculus AB: A+, 5
Honors English 10: A+
Latin II: A
PSAT 10: 1460 (700 R/W, 760 M)

I am currently taking: Programming I and II, Honors Latin III, AP Language, AP Calculus BC, AP Physics I, and AP US History. Next year I plan to take AP Comp Sci, AP Latin V (skipping IV), AP Lit, Hon Multivariable, AP Physics C, and AP Micro and Macro

I am on a travel soccer team in the National Premier League and attend college showcases throughout the year. Freshman year my team one states for club and high school, and my club team was 4th in the midwest. I am not interested in the college recruitment process. I am in Latin Club, Key Club, Blue and Gold Society (helps new students), Mu Alpha Theta (math and tutoring), and an advanced math concepts club. I volunteer several times throughout the year for Key Club at a food bank and tutor younger students in Latin. I have attended regional, state, and national level Latin conventions, and I am the captain of my school’s certamen (Latin quizbowl) team. I have also gotten gold medals on the nationwide National Latin Exam (including perfect score), National Classical Etymology Exam, and National Roman Civilization Exams. I am my school’s junior class secretary, and hope to by the upper school secretary next year. (I quit piano freshman year but won a competition that year. Should I restart or mention this in my application??)

I will take the PSAT in less than a month. (I got 1500 on a recent practice test- 740 R/W, 760 M) and the SAT in the spring.

Comments would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance! :slight_smile:

You are on the right track to be a competitive applicant for the Ivies. You want to focus on the SAT, SAT subject tests, and your ECs. You want to get more leadership and more depth in your ECs. Narrow down your interests and pursue those as much as possible. Why are you not interested in the college recruitment process? Being a recruited athlete if you have the skills is basically the best way of getting into an Ivy
