Reply:there's no formula for getting a full ride scholarship... Your best bet is just to apply to a college WAY below your grade level, but then that probably wont be a good one.





sorry there's no magic 10 step plan, but that's how life is.





Or you can play a sport really well
Reply:First, from reading what you've written, you need to spend more time with your writing and spelling skills.





Next, get involved with activities both in and out of school (sports, clubs, drama, church, 4-H, Scouts, volunteer work at a hospital, etc.). Diversify what you do. You should be able to balance both your school work and extra-curriculars.





Take the ACT when you are a Jr, but also take the PSAT as soon as possible and SAT.





Load up on the challenging courses that your school has to offer. If your school offers AP courses, dual enrollment (high school courses for college credit), and/or take evening/summer courses at your local college, do those. Grades are very important, but so are the types of subjects you take. For example, it is better to get a "B" (or maybe a "C") in Chemistry than an "A" in General Science.





Also, go online and look at the types of courses needed for a pre-med student at various colleges. It'll give you an idea of what you need to be taking at the high school level.





Good luck.
Reply:I've gotten a full ride to college for 3 years in a row now. All i did is fill out a FAFSA, and all my college is paid for because my income is too low for them to expect me to pay. My income is above $30,000 a year..
Reply:well the most prestigious clubs are beta club, national honors society, and yeah i dont know what else. but you have to maintain many public service hours to stay in them so yeah colleges will know about the hours.


join many clubs and sports and all the ap classes you can handle
Reply:Oh, hopefully a doctor would be able to spell the word at least :-P





Good Grades are good


Class choices are important too, a B in a harder class can be worth more than an A+ in a pointless one. For a doctor -- as far as you can get in science is good, anatomy %26amp; AP chem if you can.


Extracurricular activities can make up for some grades.


Speech/Debate team prepares you for interviews AND works on your writing skills which are good for essays (which you'll have to write to get into college).


A community service organization is an easy way to record %26amp; help you find volunteer opportunities. Does your school have a Key Club?


In all of these groups, you can get s position -- Secretary, V.Pres, Treasurer, Committee chair - probably as soon as next year because few others want it.


And even a sport doesn't hurt, if you do that.


You don't need to do EVERYTHING, but pick a few things and show you're smart AND involved AND willing to take responsibility (lead).





When you get closer, you can do research, pick schools, SAT, etc. etc. which is important too, but not for at least another year or two.



Reply:do as much of everything as possible.


community service


sports


clubs


asb


anything and everything


and good grades.
Reply:Join as many educational clubs as possible like NHS, Student Council, FBLA, and try to run for class president and become president of these clubs. Also Grades are HUGE so take Advanced Classes and get good grades in them (3.8 GPA or above) Also Playing Sports will help you. Get involved in your school and the results will be spectacular.
