what should I do?

With all due respect, as you are a rising 9th grader, it’s way too soon to ask what you should do, as you don’t have an ACT/SAT score, you don’t know your 3-year ranking or have a track record at your high school, you don’t have 3 years of EC’s, and you don’t know which teachers are going to write your letters of recommendation, or what rating your guidance counselor will give you on your Secondary School Report (SSR).

The best advice I can give you is to leave College Confidential for the next two years and concentrate on your studies and on the EC’s you love. When you come back in 24 months, the answers(s) to you questions will become very clear.

And FWIW: you show read this article, as it was written especially for rising 9th graders: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/andrew-s-doctoroff/college-interviews_b_1288106.html
