<p>Mine aren’t that great, I have a good number but nothing that is really outstanding yet.
I’m on the Envirothon Team, Quiz Bowl Team, in Spanish Club, Leo Club (community service), FCA, National Honors Society, a member of the track team, soccer team and football team. </p>
<p>The only thing that really sticks out is that I placed 3rd in the state in the 4x800 meter relay as a freshman.</p>
<p>My ECs are pretty subpar as well. Year numbers are projected, but basically guaranteed.</p>
<ul>
<li>Varsity Cross Country (two-year captain, four year varsity)</li>
<li>Varsity Indoor Track (3 year varsity)</li>
<li>Varsity Outdoor Track (2 year varsity)</li>
<li>Stock Market Club (4 years)</li>
</ul>
<p>hopefully my academics / the prestige of my school are enough for Ivies.</p>
<p>Anyone else here taking 3 Science courses their junior year? You could call me crazy for doing it, but I love the subject. I also plan on going to a prestigious residential camp to study Pre-Med, Chemistry and Biology.</p>
<p>@evanb1996: Wow, that must have been fun. I am being forced to take 3 science classes next year since AP Biology is a two-class sequence, and we only offer Honors Physics every other year. I heard that I will really need Physics in college and I will be lost if I don’t take it in high school. </p>
<p>@brandigirl: There are plenty of other great colleges out there. Try to enjoy high school a little by not excessively stressing as a sophomore. By the way you seem on the right track to me.</p>
<p>@nate42 Oh yes there are many other good colleges. Its just that I am moving to Palo Alto for my Junior year. I have lived there before and I fell in love with the campus. I just loved it I can not explain it. I am actually relaxing a bit now you should have met me at the beggining of my sophmore year that was stressed! I go to online school so I depend on myself no one teaches me but I am doing much better now. The only problem is that I have no EC’s.</p>
<p>This thread needs some activity. Have you all seen the Kony 2012 video? The English 3 kids were putting up posters about it today and I was wondering what it was. I’m about to watch it.</p>
<p>Study if you think you need to… I personally would forget everything if I reviewed this early though.</p>
<p>I’m taking IB next year, and I really hate spanish. I could be done with it forever and be done with my foreign language credits, but the IB diploma requires us to take it junior and senior year. If I didn’t take IB Spanish, I would take another IB science or IB music… do you guys think it’s worth it though? I dunno how much colleges actually care about “diploma” part.</p>
<p>I feel so dumb compared to everyone else. How do you cram for APs? I’m a gradual learner so I’ve been slowly going through WHAP and APHUG, since cramming is not an option for me haha.</p>
<p>I’m on sting break already. I hate that my school district decides to operate on the state community college schedule. And I have a research paper to write and two online classes to work on. </p>
