<p>my school is a new school in LA.
they don’t offer AP and many honors for sophomore
I am going to take AP and other classes next year in community college</p>
<p>what college fits to me?
and I know my EC is not that good
should I join any sports next semester? or isn’t it too late?</p>
<p>How can someone chance you if you don’t know where to go? The point of creating chance threads is to be evaluated for schools one intends on applying to.</p>
<p>Anyway, pursue your interests. It appears to me that you are interested in humanities. As for your grades, keep up with the good work.</p>
<p>Your schedule is so weak it hurts. I kind of feel bad for you, I doubt any top schools will care that no hard classes are offered there.</p>
<p>Have you looked into some of the Christian colleges in California? : Biola, Azusa Pacific, Simpson? It looks like you are involved in a lot of great service and music activities. If you aren’t really interested in sports, don’t start now for the sake of college admission. Just keep doing all of the things you enjoy and keep challenging yourself academically. The community college class is a great start. If you aren’t able to get the AP classes you need consider some self studying.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that many posters on here are looking at Ivy league schools that are highly competitive. So while some of the posters here will be critical that you have not taken as many AP’s as they have- your schedule is not “weak” for many other schools. You have also taken as many challenging classes as you have had the opportunity to do, as well as community colleges.
I am a total stranger, but I can see some things about you:</p>
<p>You are a top student at your school
You are industrious- taking classes beyond what is offered at your school and doing well with them.
You are Korean and your family is fairly recently in the US (my guess, but from the way you write)
You are very active in your church- mission trips, bible school, orchestra
You are good at music and with children.</p>
<p>This is a start to an application that will reflect you.</p>
<p>If you do not like sports- don’t do them, but if you want to try something new- go ahead. Otherwise keep up the good grades, challenging classes, and expand on your interests. Is there a local youth symphony you can join? All state orchestra tryouts? Are you interested in health care? Volunteer in a hospital to see if you like it.</p>
<p>Arrange a meeting with your school guidance counselor to discuss what colleges fit you. I agree with the suggestion for some Christian colleges since it is a big part of your life. Think about the size of a college- small would give you personal attention.
If you don’t know your major that is OK too as many students start at a liberal arts college not knowing what they want to major in. If you do decide on a major, the college counselor can help you sign up for the classes you need.
Use the college search on this board to find schools that match your interests and abilities.
Don’t be discouraged by some of the posts on this board and do not worry if an Ivy is not right for you as there are many good schools in this country.</p>
