<p>Dear leapingmnky1987 : As a junior, your profile appears to be on the right trajectory. Let’s put these points out for you to consider :</p>

<p>[1] Consider that your board scores need to be 2000+ (SAT three way) and 30+ (ACT) to create a level of comfort in your application process. Be sure to begin studying for both of those exams.</p>

<p>[2] What leadership positions can you assume over the next 12 months in your high school to show you can shape the direction of your class?</p>

<p>[3] Is there any way to tie your dance into something more in your profile to make this shine as a true “sports” activity for you? Describe the competitive nature and artistic value in your ballet.</p>

<p>[4] Enjoying “cooking” is interesting and unusual at your age. Uniqueness can be a selling factor in an application. What else do you have that is unique?</p>

<p>[5] Be sure to stretch yourself to continue studying at the top levels available in your High School including AP courses.</p>

<p>Again, you still have time to craft major addition elements on your profile. Enjoy your junior and senior years! Good luck!</p>
