In high school, I studied a lot. Probably 4 hours a day? Now I don't really study... It's a bad habit, I know. I'll fluctuate from studying zero hours a day to pulling all nighters for exams.

Depends on what the school is and what you're studying. If it's something technical, I would hold out. If it's something non-technical, I would evaluate.
I would also weigh in exactly what equities your brand name school holds. If it's an Ivy League (or equivalent), it may be worth having that name on your resume. -
I took 17 APs and 13 college-level classes, but I'm an anomaly - even at my college.

Practice, practice, practice. Get your eyes outside of just reading the script. If you were to see me speak right now, it would be magnitudes better than my graduation speech. If you want to be hardcore, tape yourself and take notes. And then retape yourself :)

Strong GPA, challenging courseload, interesting extracurriculars, and most importantly: really damn good essays.

I did lab research, math competitions, and improv. And I tried to hold leadership positions in everything I did.

I did a lot of lab research, math competitions, and improv. Now, I am more interested in comedy, photography, and entrepreneurship.
My advice would be to keep on looking at current trends in the market (via techcrunch, hacker news, etc.) and don't be afraid to take risks. You're probably young so you have a lot of time for failure. -
I earn my own money through various things that I do on the web and through photography gigs. Do a soul-search and find out truly what your interests are, and then find a way to monetize them.

I believe you are a U.S. citizen then. And I believe there are different criteria for domestic vs. international applicants. That's something worth asking that specific school about, though.

People always love humor. If you don't want to hear the speech that you wrote yourself, then it's a poor speech. Add humor - but only if it's something that comes natural to you.
-
It's been more effective than yours ;)
-
Be well-known for something, make friends with everyone, and don't be afraid to make your presence bold. And yes, I was.

Depends on your level. Are you already above your peers? Ask for help if you need it, don't be afraid to ask your teacher. If you join your school's math team, you'll learn lots of neat tricks. If you're talking about math competitions, check out "Art of Problem Solving" - they're a good community and the book will help you out as well.

I had a 730 Verbal, 750 Math, and 690 Writing if I recall correctly.

Are you in high school? Go for a funny speech rather than a substantive one (substance is important too, but humor is key). No one wants to be bored, and this is high school. Good luck!

I am someone who is bored when not challenged. I always set myself new challenges and try to succeed in them. Like now I'm trying to get really fit, and tomorrow I am running a 50K!
-
You can talk about the end of the world which is apparently tomorrow. Tell me a little bit more about yourself, and I can help!
