<p>Other info.>>
I've been attending a community college since the summer of my freshman year. My goal is to get about 60 credit hours to get an associate degree so that it will look good on my college application. I completed College Algebra when I was a freshman and got an A. According to my professor, she told me that I had the highest grade among all the students in her class. Currently, I'm taking Trigonometry every Tuesday and Thursday after high school and I have an A in that class:)</p>

<p>I hope you guys give me a great advice, thanks!</p>

<p>There are many students not nearly as impressive as you who get in. You should be fine. Just don’t burn yourself out. As only a sophomore, you have a solid road ahead until graduation comes. You have a lot on your plate but seem to be managing it all! T</p>

<p>Just a heads up, colleges don’t consider SAT Subjects of your first language…</p>
