<p>Entering junior year. Want to be a corporate/business lawyer.</p>
<p>Not including freshman year, GPA is 4.333 Weighted. Unweighted is 4.000. UC GPA is 4.25.
Next year taking 3 AP's, if I get all A's I will have 4.5 Weighted GPA for next year. Hopefully willl have all A's, the only class that is really tough to get an A is AP US Hist.</p>
<p>Rank about 7/~580, Top 1%</p>
<p>My goal is at least 2100 on the SAT. I know that higher would be better though. After taking PSAT this year I'll have a better idea of my range and what a good goal would be. Last year, my projected score was 1700-2000. I've started studying a bit afterwards though. </p>
<p>I took 2 honors classes freshmen year, 1 honor and 1 AP sophomore year. This has been the most you can take. Next year I am taking the 3 AP classes, the most you can take is about 5, but the only way to do that is Spanish AP (I'm in French) or to take 2 AP sciences or 2 AP maths, which would be pretty hard though. Senior year I should take about 4 APs, again out of 5/6 classes available. I think I passed the one AP test I took, and plan to study/try to pass all the tests I take.</p>
<p>The clubs I'm in are National Honors Society, California Scholarship Federation, French Club, and another club that prevents drug/alcohol use in teens. Next year I'm joining Speech and Debate and a community service club. I'm also planning to start a club.</p>
<p>I plan to have at least 300 community service hours by the time I apply. Most are from the hospital and a museum; and a lot from church.</p>
<p>I'm also planning to sign up with a charity, in which I'll be charge of running clean ups in our area, as well as doing some other things to help environment.</p>
<p>I might be interning or "volunteering" with an office or something like that over this summer. Next year, I should get into internship program with the office of my district's congressman (you have to be a senior for that or I would have done that this year).
I'm also looking into some summer programs so there might be that.</p>
<p>Any other suggestions of things to do? Is 300 community service hours enough; should I try for more? </p>
<p>Taking SAT towards end of junior year, so should I start studying now (summer before junior year)? When to start studying, and how to study? Reccomendations for good prep books?</p>
<p>Also, I'm Indian, female, live in California, public high school.</p>
<p>The thing I'm worried about is APs. Lots of people on here have soo many APs but considering how many are available at my school, I'm taking a lot. Colleges will consider that my school didn't offer too many APs right? What can I do about this? </p>
<p>I was thinking about community college classes, but not sure what classes I should take. Should I take something like an extra science or math? I was thinking the best is something related to my career (law) so I could take classes like Intro to Business or Intro to Psychology, something like that. Also, this way it'll be a simpler class and won't take up as much time, and will show I'm doing things that relate to my career. </p>
<p>What else can I do that will relate to my career? I know that if you want to a doctor, you would volunteer with the hospital. What is there that relates to law or business? I tried finding a law firm that would let me intern, but I couldn't find anyone. I live in a small town too, so there aren't so many things to do and all of the law firms are small and don't have much to do. So, I'm going to be helping out in an office, so that's kinda similar.. There's a law library and when I talked to them about volunteering, they said maybe once I'm 16 I could get a job, so I might do that.</p>
<p>Basically, I just want to know of things I could do that would relate to my career. Or just some other things I should do to improve my stats & resume.</p>
