Requesting Advice
Hi. I'm a 9th grader attending an international school in South Korea. I really want to get accepted into Harvard, and I want to ask for some advice in achieving this goal. I plan on applying as an international student with financial aid.
P.S. I plan on majoring in Computer Science.
Currently, I am:
4.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale(This will probably change, since this is only my first year)
SAT score of 1580
Taking 3 AP classes(AP Psychology, AP Computer Science A, AP Calculus BC)
Participating in MUN contests
Reporter for school newspaper club
Translation volunteer work
I plan to:
Prepare for The Concord Review
Participate in summer camps
Take more AP classes(I hope to take at least 10 total)
Participate in programming contests such as USACO or ICPC
Are there any other activities or programs that anyone could recommend to me? And could you also provide some feedback on my current plan? Thank you.
I searched for some volunteer activities on a site named VolunteerMatch and applied for one. It has a wide range of activities you can volunteer for. You should check it out.
Thank you so much!

Hi, sorry this isn't an answer to your question, but how did you get involved in translation volunteer work? I'd like to do a similar thing but don't really know where to start. Good luck on your academics!
