I really really really want to go to Stanford, and major in science or engineering or pre-med or something along those lines. I’ll be a junior in the fall, but my family’s moving. I spent frosh and soph years at a New England school, next fall I’m spending the semester at an outdoor school in Colorado, and then spending 2nd semester and senior year at a new school in Minnesota. I have a 3.7 GPA, and got a 204 on the PSAT, and would have been stage manager for a school theatrical production next year; but I don’t know how to get leadership positions at my new school if I’m only there for 3 semesters. Plus, I won’t know the teachers as well (bad for recommendations) but I’m going to try really hard.I’m taking extra summer classes and a summer camp volunteer job for girls interesting in math, science, and technology, and plan on continuing rowing on a varsity team, but I feel like I need to do something else, something bigger. But I will put in 100% and see what happens.
