I am going to be a freshman, so I know there is no need to rush, but everything from here on out counts. I really want to attend an Ivy League college(Princeton, Dartmouth, Yale, Brown, etc.). Not only do I need to be good enough to get in, but I really do need a scholarship or any financial help I can get. If not, my parents want to send me to community college for two years first, then to another college, but I don’t want to at all. The classes I am taking are as followed;

-Science 9 (My only regular class. :/)
-Academic Geometry
-Advanced Language Arts(Sophomore year;; Should I take Journalism or Advanced English 10?)
-Advanced American Studies(What do you recommend for sophomore year?;; AP U.S. History, AP U.S. GovPolitics, AP World History. I’m thinking world history?)
-Spanish 3
-Computer Literacy 1 Career Exploration as electives.
Fall sport; XC (Cross country)
Spring Sport; Softball (Playing since I was 5) and/or Track.

I don’t expect to do what I was able to do in 8th grade; Wake up at last minute, look semi-decent, go to school, do homework in study hall (do not have that luxury anymore), go home, eat a snack, computer, tv, text, bed. That was my easy schedule.

Next year I plan on waking up earlier and going to bed earlier. Taking the hour that I need to shower and get ready. Possibly actually eating breakfast this year (It is the most important meal of the day, after all), going to school, go to XC, come home, do homework, study, have a couple hours before bed, relax and sleep, and then do it all over again. I’ll have time for all that other stuff on weekends.

I enjoy reading and writing, photography, and athletics.

My goal is to have a very close-to-top class rank. There are 450+ in my grade. I want to be top thirty at the least, but prefer top ten.

How does my schedule look? Any advice on what to do over the years to get into an Ivy League school? Any suggestions for scholarships? Any advice would be lovely(: Thanks!
