So I just started my sophomore year of high school and decided i should start preparing for college. I go to a private school and my hours are 8:30-5 on a normal day and ends at 12:30 on fridays. I live kinda far so its hard to fit in a bunch of extra curricular. We learn Jewish subjects half the day so we need to know ancient hebrew and a little aramaic. I take regular hebrew and spanish

I took piano but i stopped cuzz i had no time but i guess colleges dont need to know that

Im taking tennis as an elective in school

I might start tutoring at kumon

Im prob volunteering for an organization for kids with special needs

If i have time i will do vocal and/or guitar

Im not one of those super geniuses with photographic memories but Im in AP history, Honors chemistry and math, and honors LA.

What are some good tips? Is this good enough?

I feel like theres nothing different about me

  1. It's fine for average colleges, but if  you're thinking top colleges, you need to step up the activities. Unfortunately from what I've seen, the duel curriculum's at religious schools can really work against you by not leaving time for the competitions and activities colleges value.


  2. trust me, it's good enough.  Colleges think more highly of someone well-rounded with problem-solving abilities than socially inept geniuses.  You don't have to be different, just a good, steady student who will stay the course.  

  3. usually they just look at your grades and sat/act scores.
