School Advice?

<h2>Hey guys, I have some problems regarding schoolwork. I live in California, and attend a highly competitive public school, with extremely dedicated and intellectual classmates. I recently got a 3.333 GPA as a freshman. I want to do better, but I don’t have a clue where to start. Both of my parents work from 6 AM to 5 PM, so there’s no adult supervision for me to focus. Here’s my daily routine.</h2>

<p>6:30 AM- Wake up and Shower
6:50 AM- Eat (Rarely) and Collect Homework/Textbooks
7:05 AM- Leave for School
7:15 AM- First Period
2:00 PM- Sixth Period Ends
2:10 PM- Get Home (Biking)
2:20 PM- Get Home (Walking)
2:30 PM- Snack and Internet/TV
6:00 PM- Homework
8:30 PM- Dinner
10:00- Bed</p>

<p>On Wednesdays I get out at 12 PM and start at 7:30 AM.</p>

<h2>I plan on joining a few clubs, for example, Key Club, American Medical Student Association (AMSA), Speech and Debate (?). I’ll put in a club list below with the times they meet. I’m open to any suggestions.</h2>

<p>Acapella- Tuesdays @ Lunch
AMSA- Every Other Monday @ Lunch
Chess- Tuesdays @ 3 PM to 4 PM
California Scholarship Federation- Every Other Wednesday @ Lunch
(Need a Certain GPA based on approved classes.)

Future Business Leaders of America- Every Other Thursday @ Lunch
Physics-TBA
Quiz Bowl- Mondays and Thursdays @ Lunch
Indian Club- TBA</p>

<h2>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I want to get into a decent college for medicine after high school, and the advice I have been given is to not care and focus solely on grades. I personally know the reasoning behind my GPA was laziness and playing sports during finals. Advice on this stuff would help a great deal, and class advice would help as well. I am open to taking summer courses to gain college credits too.</h2>

<p>FRESHMAN CLASSES</p>

<p>Geometry
English 1
Spanish 1
PE
Computer Technology (Garbage Elective)
Biology</p>

<p>SOPHMORE CLASSES</p>

<p>WHAP(?) (School uses lottery system for WHAP)
Algebra 2
English 2
PE
Spanish 2
Chemistry</p>

<p>When I say “don’t care” is just to focus on grades, not extra curricular stuff.</p>

<p>Um… what exactly is your question? All you’ve done is say ‘I want to do better (don’t we all)’ and give us several schedules and details about your future aspirations.</p>

<p>Sorry about that. I want to improve my overall “look” for college applications. I need to have some activities, for all of the places i’ll be applying to. I guess i’m asking what stuff would look great on an application and in your own experience, is enjoyable.</p>
