Hi everyone, I’m a high school junior, and I was wonderng about my chances to get into an ivy or stanford, as well as what I should be doing in terms of this next year.

4.0 uw GPA, 4.8w (assuming current grades into senior year)
10 ap’s, 5 on calc bc so far
238 psat, nmsf (i guess?)

ec’s

-Captain of Congress team - next year should become captain speech team
-5 plays - nominated best supporting actor in bay area by american musical theater san jose
-MUN president - won 2005 stanford tournament
-Founded Spanish Club
