My frosh yr. average was a 93.8. I plan on getting involoved with ECs and taking on leadership postition in thoseand Student Gov't.
I'm going to surpass the community service req.
i going to a pretty competive hs. We have send many students 2 HYPS and many LACs. I got a 111 on PSAT Fresh yr. With this New SAT i probably get maybe between a 200-240. I ranked 36 out of like mid 200ish. i want to take Pre-Cal junior yr. but can't due to math-sci agreement. So i can't take Pre-Cal w/chemsitry. It has 2 be taken w physics. and u r not allowed 2 double up on math sci courses at my school. This is the most rigourous plan open. btw school offers only like 4 Aps these were the only was i can take &
i was thinking maybe take some college classes at local CC jr sr year.

Your schedule certainly is impressive, esp. 2 languages. For your concerns with APs and math courses- if you interview at any of these schools, when they ask about your HS (which they should) just tell them that you were not able to take all of the courses you liked due to scheduling problems. Also, I'd recommend taking a few CC classes. And how about taking AP French or Latin after some independent study? Good luck!

Looks fine, but if you want to go to Harvard, Yale, Georgetown, or Stanford, why are you posting in the Brown topic?

Stop worrying so damn much. Have fun, don't overload, and for god's sake, you're a sophomore. Worry about college a year from now. You sound like such a tool.
