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?

&we dont do class ranks. the entire school has 80 people.

Couple of issues here and I speak from experience having worked in the counseling area before.
You need 4 years of a foreign language, and I'm sorry, but Hebrew might not do it at some schools. Each school is different so check with the school admissions if Hebrew is a valid High School language to take to satisfy the admissions language requirement. Are you going to wind up with 4 years of spanish?
You seriously need more electives. Tennis won't do it. Where are the clasess in computer science, accounting, psychology, sociology, etc. Once again check with the admissions offices of the schools to see if electives can be substituted for your jewish studies.
You need to get an idea about your SAT or ACT scores. Once you have those done and an idea of the score you can see if you meet the requirements for admissions.
Wanting to get right into a university on account that it is popular is not a well motive, and now not one so they can get you in. Find out what it's approximately a targeted university that relatively draws you. Pick a main and uncover out in the event that they even present it, a lot much less specialise in it. The ivies are not the pleasant university for the whole lot. Many of them take fewer than 10% of candidates and all of the most sensible scholars on the earth are making use of. You want very top grades and scan ratings in top university simply to compete, and you then ought to uncover a solution to stand out.
Take more AP classes, more language, more electives and get involved with clubs and sports in the school
