<p>Here is another thought for you. You might want to investigate taking independent study classes on-line. Check with your high school and see what programs they are affiliated with or will accept. You seem to be very worried about fitting in all your classes when you return, and taking an online independent study would help out in this area. It won't be free, but you should check into it.</p>
<p>Also check out on-line SAT prep classes. You should seriously think about retaking the SAT this Fall, and if necessary, this Spring. If you make arrangements early enough with your host school, they can have the English version ordered for you. Also think seriously about taking the ACT. Many students do much better on this than the SAT.</p>
<p>PLAN!PLAN!PLAN!! Don't give up until its over, and even then regroup and move ahead.</p>
<p>(My son was told that he was "average", and his chances were only average. Not only did he get in, he has been on the honors list for the past three semesters.) (Those people who talk to you in the general office are not allowed to be overly encouraging, so as not to get one's hopes up too much, and be accused of misrepresentation. They also do not make the decisions)</p>
<p>Good Luck in your endeavors
