I am in high school (grade 10) and as the college-mania begins, I have been thinking a lot about the schools I might want to attend. I would love to get into a unversity like Harvard, Yale, or Stanford, or some other highly reputable school, but I'm not sure I have the kind of background that schools like that require. Here is my background:
As of now: GPA: 4.27
Extracurriculars: Debate Team, Model U.N. (position on board for this): 2 awards won, Science Olympiad: 4 awards won, Academic Competition, Spanish Club, City Youth Orchestra (I live in a pretty big city--about 1 million)
I have done a number of community service hours as of now (doing more prior to graduation), but just general things, like soup kitchens, etc.
I'm not a minority.
I'm taking 2 AP courses this year, all honors otherwise, and one English elective (I'll be taking more AP's junior and senior year).
I'm a pretty serious violinist.
Thanks! If anyone has a clue whether I'm good, thanks!
