<p>Oh, BTW, I'm a junior. What should I be doing this summer to prepare for college apps or adding to my current list? I was thinking volunteer work or a job, but I'm not sure.</p>

<p>dang, teen jeopardy…</p>

<p>UCSD - match

<p>Yeah, being Hispanic is almost as good as being black.</p>

<p>This summer, try to find free summer programs or an internship, and volunteer work (on top of those).</p>
