Couple of questions that I would LOVE to have answered : )

1) By the end of my senior year I will be taking a total of 7 AP classes. It would not be posssibe for me to take anymore due to my music class. Is this a sufficient amount to still have for a great shot at Stanford and Cornell considering everything else (ECs, SAT, and essay) is in short of saying oustanding I guess?

2) I feel like by the time I will apply I will almost look like eveyone else in the top 25% of applicants. I have grades, experiences, volunteer hours, friends, SAT’s (hopefully if I study hard) and tons of ECS. However, my ECS range from about 9 different clubs, but no national awards just state qualifiers in several areas. They have no focus like they want on “two clubs” or what not. I was thinking about starting a club for Ping pong, but I doubt such a club with little importance will boost my chances. Any ideas about a club or maybe something else that I could focus on. I love math and science and am a pretty sociable person.

I feel like in order to increase my dream since middle school, I need to up the money on the table and really focus on something, but I can’t figure it out.
I am still a sophomore so i have some time, but I should start to get crackin soon.

All the thanks
