When you start in High school, that’s when the college start paying attention. Of course, if you do a great job in Middle school then you will be well prepared to do well in high school.
Take the toughest courses they will allow – as many AP classes as you can get. And do some preparation before the PSATS – if you can do well on those then you might get to be “National Merit” – that is a good thing to have on your application. Also, do some volunteer work – like, if you want to be a doctor, volunteer in a hospital, or if you want to be an architect, volunteer in a architecture library or in a historical society where they help with historic architecture restorations.
Keep up with your music. Is there any chance that you could get a prize in a state competition? The Colleges really like it when you show that you can compete at a high level and win an award – it shows that you are a leader and that you have passion and dedication…
Get into one of the academic clubs — like debate, mock trial, math or science olympiad. Get your club fired up and take a shot at winning the state championship.
Each year about 2,000,000 or more kids go off to college, but only about 20,000 will be in the Ivies, Duke, Stanford and UCHicago combined. So, if you want to be in that elite group, you need to be smart, hardworking and lucky!
Keep up the good work.
The French horn matters because it shows that you are well-rounded and disciplined.
Good luck.
