I am a sophomore in a non-competitive high school in MD.

GPA
Freshman Year-
UWGPA(all A’s and 2 high B’s)-4.06
WGPA(school doesn’t calculate, I used an online GPA calculator)-4.19

AP’s
Freshman Year- None(school didn’t offer)
Sophomore Year- AP Gov (only one I could take)
Junior Year(Predicted)- AP World History, AP English 11, possibly AP CSP and AP Physics (look at EC’s for explanation)
Senior Year(Predicted-AP US History, AP English 12, (possibly AP Bio), AP Cal AB(school doesn’t offer BC)

EC’s
A key member of the Mock Trial Team

Trying to start a CS club 11-12 (President and Founder)

Possible Math Tutor 10-12 (have to double check with my math teacher)

Student Ambassador 9 (only did one year cause I moved to a different school)

Trying to advocate for AP classes in my school because they lack classes for kids that want to do STEM(they don’t offer any AP Science or CS classes, that’s why my junior and senior year AP’s are weird)

Aiming for National Merit Semi-finalist

Also looking into possibly starting USACO

If the CS club goes well I plan to organize inter-school CS competitions

Plan/Hope to win the Congressional App Challenge

Tests
Aiming for 1500+ SAT/35+ACT

Hooks: URM(Nigerian male), First-gen, parents are immigrants

Please change me for top CS schools and also UMD and John Hopkins(how do I look for schools in the DMV area)

Thank you, I know this is really earlier, but I would still appreciate responses.
