Colleges & Universities Stanford University

<p>I’m a sophomore.
I wish to major in business and am hoping to attend Stanford.
I have </p>

<p>4.0 GPA (Non weighted)
99.6% Grade Average
Played Soccer for 4 years. (Captain in leagues)
Was in Science Olympiad for 3 years.
I don’t really have much volunteer hours, so I am thinking on doing that this year.
I also need more leadership positions.
Can you advise me on what to do in order to be a good candidate for this school?</p>

<p>I’m taking</p>

<p>AP Calculus BC
AP Physics BC
AP Writing&Composition
AP US History
Pre-AP American Literature (required for Juniors)</p>

<p>next year.</p>

<p>Help on what to get as ECs and etc please!</p>

<p>Honestly, you should just choose a few ECs that you are interested in and passionate about. Maybe the business club at your school? (start one if there isn’t any) And maybe something different to show you’re well-rounded. Don’t choose ECs for the sake of impressing colleges; they will know if you really care or not. Leadership positions are important but you don’t need 5 to show that you are doing something. One or two is fine. Really, it’s your essays that count above all. Good luck!</p>

<p>And just btw, you realize that Stanford doesn’t offer a business major? Econ or MSE are the ones to go for then.</p>

<p>As TexasCal said, do the EC’s you WANT to do! I did a ton because i loved all of them and I believe that this helped me get into Stanford.</p>

<p>Yea, I wanted to attend Stanford School of Business after taking economics if I can attend that is…</p>

<p>Are my grades currently OK? I know all the applications have this grade because good academic achievements are just a “requirement” to apply for the college.
I’m hoping to take SAT next year.</p>
