Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey all, I've been trolling for a while, but this is my first post. You all appear very helpful, so here it goes.</p>

<p>I'm currently a freshman, and I'm planning my highschool career. I'm also looking for advice so I don't make some irreversible mistake in my sophomore year and wind up attending the local community college.</p>

<p>School: (Ranked in top 1% of highschools nationwide)</p>

<p>Race: White Jewish (name does not indicate heritage)</p>

<p>Courses:</p>

<p>AP World History (Only AP Course Available Freshman Year) Grade: 97
Honors Biology . . . Grade: 99
Honors English . . . Grade: 95
Honors Math . . . Grade: 85 (being raised . . . made some stupid mistakes)
Studio Art . . . Grade: 95
French II . . . Grade: 94</p>

<p>Current Credentials:</p>

<p>Winner, District Spelling Bee
Winner, Regional Spelling Bee
National Spelling Bee Finalist (Finished 45th)
Receiver of Principal's Student of the Year Award
2nd Place, Regional Science Fair
Highest Grade in Class, Earth Science Regents Exam
National Junior Honor Society Member</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:</p>

<p>Guitar (7 years)
Aikido (Japanese martial and spiritual art)
President of the Class
School Newspaper Correspondent</p>

<p>Current SAT Scores (from 8th grade): </p>

<p>Verbal 670
Math 530
Writing 650</p>

<p>So, looking at my current stats, what do you recommend I do? What do you recommend I NOT do? Any advice is appeciated, as neither of my parents has ever taught me the "college game." My brother was not terribly academically motivated, but is a terrific jazz musician and attends the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. Most of what I know about college and doing well in highschool is from his friends and what I can pick up from talking to my own friends without sounding clueless.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I would recommend you not worry about college yet.</p>

<p>lol, you've been trolling?
sorry, i don't have much to say, other than i doubt you'll end up in community college. where i'm from, people don't even know what the SAT is and you've taken it in eight grade with above-average scores. with some studying, and a couple years of maturity and learning, i'm sure you can bring those scores up to 99 percentiles. anyway, you're doing good. keep it up for a few more years.</p>

<p>you're doing well, keep ur grades up, the one thing i regret is the fact that i slacked off so much throughout highschool.</p>

<p>Anticatalyst, did you notice the part where I said I was Jewish?</p>

<p>Hey, hey, let's not get into that racial stuff...there's about 500 threads for that already.</p>

<p>As for you, you're fine. What are your passions? They don't have to be things you can put on a college app. It's just good to say them so you can think about them.</p>

<p>History, creative writing, oration, to name a few.</p>
