How many ap classes is enough for Princeton?

What kind of college could i get into??? advice please for the future & questions about classes?

  • Hii :) I'm a sophomore in high school and I was just wondering If you guys could give me suggestions and tips/advice on how I'm doing this year so far, and what type of college caliber person would you think i'd be? (ex: state school level, UC system level, IVY league material, etc.) im taking: acting 1 (i just dropped out of AP chem, but it wont show that on my transcript as i did that before the deadline) AP Calc AB (skipped pre-algebra and pre-calc) English 10 honors AP world history (our school doesnt allow us to take history freshmen year) Spanish 3 Aerobics (dont laugh at me ;p) I got a 4.0gpa freshmen year (all As & no weighted classes including honors classes) and im looking to get all As this year as well. extracurriculars: -varsity debate (i was a novice freshmen year) -speech team (just tried out/joined this year) -model United Nations (just joined) -key club-i will apply to be an officer/coordinator -I'm the treasurer AND vice president of a club (not 2 separate clubs; one club). the goal is to raise money for kids with cleft lips and to work with the IRC (international rescue committee) -science Olympiad (just joined so i havnt won anything yet) -im going to apply to be an editor in my school's science journal (for this year and beyond) -CSF (california scholarship foundation, im in this already) -im a black belt 1st degree in Taekwondo (earned in 8th grade) -im going to start weekly volunteering at a senior facility I will also apply for yearbook towards the end of the year so i can take it junior and senior year. Also, I'm going to tryout for the girl's golf team in junior year (I will try to get lessons over the summer as I've only played golf recreationally before) I'll also apply for NHS next year (for junior & senior year) -- a few questions: does it matter that i didnt take ap chem? i took the regular chem class over the sumer for school credit, and ill be taking ap bio junior year and maybeee ap physics senior year. (not sure what i want to go into for college-maybe pre med or law though) once im done with spanish 3, can i go on to AP spanish and skip spanish 4? more importantly: how important is it to take AP spanish, if it is at all? do colleges look at kids who take AP spanish differently than they would to kids who go through spanish 3 or 4 but did not take AP spanish? im saying this in the context of people who do not want to major in world languages, but do to it for the heck of it and for the experience. do colleges see the AP spanish taker as a determined person? or does it not matter to them if they are not going to major or take that language in college? and since I'm quite ahead in math, is it okay if i just fulfill the 3 year requirement and not take math senior year (if thats the case ill probably take AP stats junior year)? and lastly: any suggestions on how to improve on or build on my schedule and my extra currics for the years to come? thanks so much:) side note- im taking the PSAT this year in october. last year (freshmen year) i got around an 1800 but i took a psat class over the summer and i think this year when im going to take it i think i'm capable of getting a score somewhere around a 1900-2050. ( will definitely take an sat class next summer to improve on this. my goal is to get a 2250+ when i take the real SAT) also: my school is a really good high school. our api is in the high 800s (i think we got arond an 870 this year) and it's super competitive. i know colleges have to pick somewhat the equal number of kids from each school, and since my school is more competitive than others itll be harder to get into a better school. btw i did ask this question in another section too-i want answers from all different types of people :) sorry this was so long! thanks again! :) again, although i dont know wht i want to go into yet, (either pre-med or law of some variation) i really want to get into stanford, uc Berkeley, dartmouth, or princeton. do i have a shot at schools of that caliber?
