Environmental Law Highschool advice; classes, clubs, teams, research, etc.
Hi, I'm 14 and I am extremely interested in becoming an Environmental Lawyer and getting into an Ivy League University. So far I have been trying to take many classes that (I think) relate to this topic. I have taken and passed 13 college-level (AP and such) classes with straight A's in topics that I think relate to this field, mainly some AP science, business, economics, and english-type classes, and I also am on teams such as speech and debate and other similar clubs to try and get more involved in the law side of stuff, but I really am not sure what I should really be taking to be successful in Environmental Law. I've also been pursuing arts/sports as well to get a bit more well-rounded, and I have been dancing since I was 2, and I have been really investing time into that (I mainly dance ballet and perform in a couple of shows every year, so I really take it seriously :)) I volunteer at my ballet theatre, some school-hosted foodbanks, and a cancer awareness campaign at my school as well for community service hours :) I also run track and field and take pilates as well, and I am trying to go deeper into these extracurriculars. Could anyone give me advice on what other classes, clubs, opportunities, research, community service, or anything else I should take in my next few high school years to work towards this goal, and advice on how to get into an ivy league university with a strong program in this field? Volunteer opportunity suggestions are appreciated as well! (My school offers nearly all the AP classes and around 115 clubs, so I am open to any sort of class or club/team suggestions Any advice for getting into an ivy league university is appreciated :))) How could I make myself stand out from the rest of the applicants? [Also I am planning on starting a club, so if anybody has ideas, that would be extremely helpful :)].
