-- Posted by Anonymous at 12:51 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 So I'm a highschool junior and take 2 ap classes and I have a 3.9 gpa and I'm on the varsity swim team but apparently my techers are telling me that that is not enough and would like to know what they mean by that... because I really want to go to stanford or yale.. but apparently it is very hard to get into there.... -- Posted by MR UNKNOWN at 12:52 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 -being in clubs -SATS -ACTS -- Posted by Micus at 12:53 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 You have to show leadership. Clubs, teams, charities, church etc. -- Posted by sadnessness at 12:53 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 they want the top 10% of the country, thats what, You need a 4.0 i guess -- Posted by The Patekip at 12:53 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 If you're shooting for those two schools. Straight A's, be on a sports team, be a member of a couple clubs, and show some signs of leadership. I.E Leading a club, forming a club, leading a community service project, etc. Oh and a lot of community service hours. -- Posted by Anonymous at 12:57 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 well thats the problem, with lots of ap homework and 3 hours of practice form monday to saturday, there's VERY little room for community hours :( -- Posted by panicxparadox at 12:58 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 Is that a 3.9 weighted? Schools really like 4.0+ -- Posted by Anonymous at 12:59 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 yea it's weighted -- Posted by jennay at 1:38 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 its a little late now
