<p>currently, I am a sophomore in high school but I recognize that you have to start early if you have dreams of making it into an Ivy Leauge School. While I know that many things can and will change, I am currently in the top 10 people in my class (top 1%) of 1400 and am taking all advanced classes except for band. I have hopes of becoming a drum major, am involved in my church group and I am an eagle scout. I hope I only get better, but what advice would anybody have for me if I am to have any hope of making it into the upper eschelon of schools? Its important to me to have “a life” in high school and not only be about grades, which so far I think Ive done well. I need advice! Thank you -texastuba92</p>
