I am currently a sophomore at a private Catholic school and have an unweighted cumulative GPA of a 4.06 on a 4.1 scale, with a 4.1 being straight a+'s. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks!
A lot of people going to an Ivy League university have that schedule (minus the Linear Algebra/Differential), plus killer SATs, plus many ECs, clubs, volunteering, sports, summer programs, etc.
Unless you have legacy at one of the Ivy’s, there’s no “plan” really.
While legacy may help, it is by no means a sure thing.
To the OP, yes, it’s a good plan, but really not that much different from what most applicants will have. You might want to read Cal Newport’s How to Be a High School Superstar to gain some further insight/ideas.
Also, neglect sleep at your own peril. Sleep is more important than getting into an Ivy, because if you don’t get enough, you will damage your cognitive function making it take longer to learn and do your homework, causing you to forego more sleep, further damaging your cognitive function, etc. It’s a bad downward spiral that many students find themselves in when they realize how difficult it is to do such a heavy load, and they won’t get into an Ivy anyway, because they will be unable to do well. You are better off maximizing yourself subject to the constraint that you can get the sleep your body needs. Do fewer things, but do them well.
