<p>I took one AP sophomore year. I had zero leadership positions but I did try to demonstrate an example where I showed leadership. Schools don’t want to see that your involved in a million clubs and are president of all of them they want to know what you accomplished with said club or activity you did. I can’t say I was particularly involved in the community I had only a 100ish hours of community service. Test scores (31 ACT), rigorous schedule (9 AP’s 1 sophomore year 2 junior year 6 senior year), and an upward trend and a decent class rank (top 11 percent when I applied) and decent essays allowed me to get in (class of 2016) fairly easily. (UT Austin, Case Western, Northeastern acceptances,… BC waitlist).</p>
