<p>You're in great shape. Keep taking tough classes and posting up the A's. Work hard on the SATI/II, you'll want at least a 2200 in both. As far as EC's go, take that tennis and piano as far as you can. What major are you interested in? Try to focus and get rally involved in smething related to that major.</p>

<p>I am just going to warn you to protect your self-esteem. CCers like to attact weakness. They can smell fear.</p>

<p>Thanks for the warning. I've been on this site for a while just never bothered to make an account and post. The CCers can be pretty harsh. Nonetheless it'd be nice to get some honest oppinions</p>

<p>The standard formula... get higher scores, maintain or raise GPA/rank, and get MUCH better ECs... </p>

<p>Look around for opportunities around you... Be a club leader, start a organization, raise money for charity, go out on academic challenges, do research, go out on local competitions, join school teams, run for student government... etc...</p>
