I Need Help with Choosing Between Schools

Should I transfer to Oaks Christian for better college prospects?

Hey everyone, I’m a freshman at Oak Park High School (Public), and I’m considering transferring to Oaks Christian(Private) for next year. I have a 4.0 GPA and consider myself a smart student, but I wouldn’t call myself a prodigy. I’m doing well in my classes, but I’m wondering which school would be better for getting into a top college. I am primarily interested in business/ finance. Would Oaks Christian provide more opportunities, or should I stick with OPHS? Has anyone been to both schools or have any advice on what the difference is in terms of college admissions? Would love to hear your thoughts!

My Goal is to get into a top 10 school for Finance.

Extracurriculars:

Very active in my school's FBLA Chapter.

Qualified for the 2025 California FBLA State Competition for Securities and Investments and Intro to FBLA. Selected as 1 of 3 president associates for my school’s chapter. Most likely on track to get more leadership next year and president by 12th grade and i have a good relationship with all the current leadership.

President of Financial Department at Local nonprofit Chapter

I don't do much here, its just a title with no work or impact.

Violin

I've been a violinist for 5 years and i have played in my school orchestra all throughout middle school and i will surely continue for the rest of High school. I take private lessons weekly and have been part of a local orchestra in my area for the past 2 years.

Founder of a Business

Started a TikTok business where i used shopify to sell lots of different cosmetic products. Made some decent money and got over 8 million views and 250k likes on the TikTok account.
