Hi, I am a Junior in High School. I have a 3.9 gpa UW and will probably have over 4.0 weighted (I haven’t calculated it though). I took AP Chem last year and am taking AP Calc, AP Bio, and AP Computer Science this year. I plan on taking AP Physics, AP Spanish, AP Environmental Science, AP Stats, and AP Literature my senior year.

I don’t have amazing extracurriculars, but I have done some things. I have around 20 to 30 hours of community service. I was involved in the debate team freshman and sophomore year. In debate team I was chosen to go to travel to New York for the NHSMUN conference. Sadly I had to quit after sophomore year though. I have played badminton since sophomore year and I am a part of a robotics team outside of school. I am a part of the robotics club and investors club in my school. (sorry for the sloppy writing in this post btw).

So these are my questions:

1. Was quitting debate team a mistake?

2. What colleges are in my range? What should be my safety and reach schools? I prefer UC’s and schools in southern CA

3. Should I take harder classes like more AP’s?

4. Should I increase my extracurricular activities?

5. What else should I do?

Thanks for the help! Also, tell me if I should add any other information.
