Haha 700 math, my bad lol
I suck terribly at soccer, but our school doesn't have a JV team. So, everyone is automatically on the varsity team. Ironically, we consistently win city championships cuz we're that good.
And yes I am a Sophomore.
My best mile time is 6:39 but that's going to get dropped to under 6 soon.
^ That's an ok-ish time for running. If you think that you're strong in that area, and you can improve, then I would say that you should focus on running (in terms of sports). Also focus on increasing your SAT score and do some volunteer work over the summer...
No offense, but there isn't anything in particular that stands out-- at least, not now (imo). Even if you raise your SAT score significantly, you're gonna have to write some killer essays if you're going for HYP.
You should shoot for more schools in the 15-30 range in the rankings. Cornell EA maybe, but Northwestern, Michigan, Notre Dame places like that. Also, try some LACs. There is not as much diversity in some of the top LACs.
try going to prestigious summer programs after the sophomore year. Colleges tend to look at after-junior-year-summer-programs as a desperate act to increase chances of getting in. ( a bit exaggerated but true nonetheless)
