<p>you’re just a junior relax. my advice to you is study for the SAT alot, and get that writing score up. also keep your grades up - the upward trend is good. You might even want to look into trying the ACT – for some it works better ( for me it did) don’t worry about where you are gonna get in now. trust me there is plenty of time to obsess over that when you’re a senior. good luck with everything!</p>
<p>You will need to get that uw GPA up into the mid 3’s or higher also. Good luck!</p>
<p>you may want to explain your circumstances, if any, during your first two years of high school in your application if you believe that will affect your chance at admission</p>
