<p>Although I don’t post much, I am ALWAYS lurking around (specially in this part of the forum) and would like to hear your opinions…I am only a junior but I would like to see if I am on track for Boston University, as it is my top choice and I think I will apply ED next fall. </p>
<p>9th:
Honors English 9
Honors Geometry
Honors Modern World History
Honors Physical Science
French 1
PE (required)
Freshman Focus (required)</p>
<p>10th
Honors English 10
Honors Algebra II (I am TERRIBLE at math. It has been my downfall for all of high school. I failed first semester than I was switched to regular Algebra II second semester and went to summer school to make up 1st semester and worked really hard and earned a B)
AP US History (I got a 2 on the exam but I think if I can get the money, I will retake it again this year and hopefully get a 3)
Honors Biology
French 2
Theatre Arts
Speech/Health (both required classes)</p>
<p>Currently:
Advance Literary Trends/Composition aka English 11 Honors
College Algebra/Trigonometry (my guidance counselor and principals will not let me switch out of math even though I have already met my math credits and I am terrible. My GPA is suffering because of this!)
AP US Government
Honors Chemistry
French 3
Computer Business Applications (required)/Design
Psychology/Sociology (Although, it is not offered as a class I am planning on taking the AP exam for psych)</p>
<p>Next Year I plan on taking:
AP English Literature
AP Biology
AP French
Personal Finance (required)/Honors Seminar (not a class for a credit…just a study hall)
Journalism or a Theatre Class
I would like to be a Library Aid for one of my open hours
My principals and guidance counselor will most likely want me taking a math class. So, there’s UMKC College Algebra (for actual college credit this time) or Precalculus (but I’d be out of my mind if I took that) and I think there will be AP Statistics (but I don’t think so) </p>
<p>So like I said, math is my weakest subject and because of it my GPA has been low and I’ve just missed the 10% line but I’m planning on making it next year (and maybe this year). I’ve talked to my counselor and at the end of senior year if I keep good grades by Weighted GPA should by at least 3.6 and at least UW 3.3</p>
<p>I haven’t taken the ACT or SATs yet. But my PLAN scores from 10th grade predicted at 30-32 on ACT and the PSATS have predicted at least a 2000. However, I honestly think I can bring those up. </p>
<p>ECs (also including next year, sorry if this is confusing):
Cross Country- all 4 years. Captain 11th & 12. Ran Varsity meets 11th and will be varsity next year.</p>
<p>Swimming -all 4 years. Varsity 11 & 12. Might be captain next year.</p>
<p>Soccer- all 4 years. Varsity 11 & 12 (I’m pretty sure) Not sure if I’ll be captain but there’s a possibility.</p>
<p>Track & Field?- 11th & 12. Not sure if I want to give up soccer and go back to track (did it in middle school) but my cross country coach wants me to. Or I could just go to the meets and stay with soccer.</p>
<p>Theatre Club- all 4 years. Might be President next year or at least vice president. Been either backstage or acting for EVERY SINGLE production since freshman year. Will senior direct a one act play next year and might be a stage manager. Have been Head Props Person, been on run crew, etc, etc.</p>
<p>CAPPIES (international organization where 9 students from each school go to other schools in this program and watch their musicals/straight plays and critique the shows and the best reviews get published in local newspapers.)- 10-12. I’ve already been told that I will be lead critic next year and I’m trying to get publish on all the shows I see so I can get Best Female Critic Award at the end of the year banquet either this year or next year.</p>
<p>GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance)- freshman year</p>
<p>SGA- 9th, 11th (Secretary for 2012 class) and I’ll do it next year but don’t know if I’ll hold an office position next year</p>
<p>Youth In Government- 11th & 12th (maybe president next year)</p>
<p>Model UN -11th & 12 (maybe president next year)</p>
<p>Yearbook- 12th (it was a class and I was planning on taking it this year but became a club this year) maybe an office position.</p>
<p>Should have 100+ volunteer hours by the end of senior year. </p>
<p>OTHER THINGS:
Hopefully will be going to Interlochen for Creative Writing summer 2011 if I get accepted and can raise the money. Not sure if this is something you would put on the application?</p>
<p>Have a book blog will I review books and get lots of books in the mail from authors and publishers to read/review. I have a few hundred followers. Again, not sure if this is something I would put on my college application as its not official.</p>

<p>Anyway, thanks in advance for any input! I’m sorry this is all over the place. I just got out of swim practice and I’m incredibly tired. I feel like I’m missing some things so I might edit this or just post another reply. </p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>EDIT: WHOA! I’m am really sorry for this long post. I ramble on and on sometimes.</p>
