Is Getting into A Good College Hard?

Chance Me / Match Me

<p>HI, I’m a Sophmore at (according to Newsweek) one of the top high schools in America</p>

<p>This is an IB School so Ap classes do not begin until sophmore year
The first year I got A’s in everything… and my GPA was 4.0
I feel that this yeat I might not do so well and my GPA could drop.
However this year I am taking all AP classes</p>

<p>Say I do well and i get an above 4.0 GPA for highschool. Will the freshman year of no AP classes drag me down (keep in mind these were IB level classes, just as or more difficult)?</p>

<p>Also, I feel I will get 2200+ on SAT’s and should get high marks on IB Exams.
With that plus a GPA of 4.5 to 5 and a extra curic list of :
City League Socccer
Cello (PLay @ Church and in Youth Orchestra)
1st Chair Baritone Player in Youth Band
Competition Winning fencer
Member of State Champion Middle chess School Team (And Competition winning chess PLayer)
Piano
Various Volunteering (Around 2 hours a week)
Key Club Member
Young Democrat Member
Mu Alpha Theta First Team (9th Grade - Alg 2 , 10th grade - AP stats)
Student of the Month
English Student of the Year
MIddle School Performed in 5 plays
Tap Dance (THough I Stopped This - can I count it and the middle school stuff?)</p>

<p>I wanted to go to a top 10 public school or maybe a ivy league school but my main focus is Cambridge ( which my mom is an alumni of)
-Do I stand a chance of getting in?</p>

<p>Didn’t mj93 say it all?</p>

<p>Don’t worry about APs in freshmen year… my school only offers 5 of them and you cant take them until like junior year.</p>

<p>Yeah, cool down, Stressica. We can take AP Euro our sophomore year, and the rest don’t open up until junior year. If you’re saying you took all IB classes your freshman year and then all AP’s your sophomore, then I’m PRETTY sure you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>Also, threads like these make me wish they had an SAT for street smarts, or humor.</p>
