<p>I would like to apply to the program for next summer, (I will be a sophomore in a few weeks) and I'm just wondering what I can do to increase my chances, as less than 25% of applicants are admitted. These are my credentials so far:</p>

<p>I am also starting a leadership program through Girls Inc at the local middle school.</p>
<p>I don't know my gpa or rank yet, but my weighted average this year was somewhere around a 102 or 103 and my unweighted average was a few tenths of a point shy of a 96 in all honors classes.</p>
<p>What can I do to improve my chances?</p>
