Hi,

I'm a freshman in a small christian school. I am extremely interested in attending the University of Pennsylvania Experimental Physics Academy.

I have a 3.92 GPA. The required GPA is 3.5

However, I realise that I am not very good with extracurriculars. My school doesn't offer many extracurriculars. We have a total of about 300 students in my school, and we don't have many options of courses to take. Next semester I will be taking all honors courses though.

I am on student council. This weekend I plan on volunteering at the Humane Society, I will also volunteer as a candy striper, at the nursing home. I will have 500 hours of community service by this summer, I am starting a physics club in school, and I play lacrosse.

They admit a little less than 50% of applicants. (275 get in out of 600.) I have above the required GPA, I just need to know if there are any recommendations on other extracurriculars I could try? Also, do you know of any SAT prep tests for 9th grade?

Thanks, any tips are welcome!!

B.T
