Im currently a freshman in high school. Im intrested in attending Stanford or an Ivy league college. My problem is that Im unsure of how my freshman grades will affect my chances. The first semester I didnt do as well as I could’ve and Im currently in my second semester and so far I have straight A’s. Here are my grades for the first semester: My GPA (un)3.4 w(4.08) I’m ranked 218 out of 803(I know I need to get that way up)
Spanish 2: B
World Geography Honors:B+
Biology Honors: B
Algebra:B
Orchestra:A
English:A
Eurythmics(colorguard):A
Next year I’m taking:
International Relations Honors
Spanish 4 Honors
Financial Operations Honors
AP World History
English 2 Honors
Geometry
Chemistry Honors
I’m currently in colorguard(marching band) and I am aware that I need more ECs. Next year, Im gonna be in DECA, Model United Nations, National Honor Society, National Spanish Honor Society, National English Honor Society, National Social Studies Honor Society. And yes, I am actually intrested in all of these. I’m also gonna start a club, volunteer in my community(library, museum, hospital). So my question is if I hurt my chances at one of these schools. Im also wondering if since Pre-Calc is the highest math I’ll be able to take in high school if it will affect my chances either. If I can I’m going to try to take Calc online my senior year to increase my chances. I’ve also heard that it helps that im a minority(black) but I’m not relying on that at all because it may not be true and Im still gonna do my best.
