<p>Hi Im about to enter my Jr. year and I need advice for the future -- My school only offers AP's for 11 + 12 so I can start taking them this year. From 6-9th grades I missed a lot of school due to a medical condition which is resolved and no longer an issue. But because of it my grades suffered. Although as of my sophomore year, I have been getting straight A's. I haven't taken the SAT I but I am projecting hopefully around a 2200 based on my PSAT's that i took during my soph year.
Have Legacies at Princeton and Amherst...</p>

<p>I plan on taking 3 SAT II's by end of Jr. year.
My NY Regents grades have been:
Earth Sci: 95
Bio: 93
Math A: 92
French 1 98
Math B: 93
Global Regents: 96
Chem regents : 95</p>

<p>9th Grade
French 2- B
Biology- B+
English 9- A-
Global I- B+
Math A/B- B
Art 1A - A+</p>

<p>10th Grade
Chemistry: A+
Global II: A
French 3: A-
English 10: A+
Math B: A-
Health: A+
Art 1B: A+</p>

<p>Next year I am taking
AP Bio
AP US History
AP English Language
French 4 honors
PreCalc
Creative Writing</p>

<p>And in 12th I plan on taking
AP Chem
AP English Lit
AP US Gov
Physics Honors
Calculus AB
French 5 Honors</p>

<p>EC's (kinda weak): Volunteered for 3 years at a preschool camp
Summer Internship in a Recording Studio
Academic Challenge Team, Key Club, Film Club VP, Volunteer Ambulance Corps EMT, Volunteered at a local Hospital this year and next year as well. Varsity Golf Team (Jr year and Sr. year) National Honor Society</p>

<p>My essay will be amazing focusing on how my illness was what made me want to get into medicine and how after I got better I saw what i could do...
I am not sure where it is I would like to attend, partially because I havent started looking, but when I do choose a huge plus to me would be a strong Science/PreMed program. Currently I decided I would just be looking at my chances at : Princeton, Duke, Brown, JHU,Tufts,Cornell, Northwestern, University of Penn, UC Berkley if my grades continue on same track they are on
Also anyone who knows of any schools with good Pre-Med/Science Programs that I didn't list and would be kind enough to list them I would be extremely grateful.
any advice is appreciated</p>

<p>Thanks again</p>

<p>bump... anyone?</p>

<p>what was your psat score?</p>

<p>Without some kind of score it's hard to say (and it is a bit early), but assuming you get a competitive SAT score and continue working on your EC's, you should have a good shot at the schools you mention. A 2200 should make you competitive, even more if you get it up a bit.</p>

<p>You have an upward trend in grades from 9th to 10th, and if you keep on that level you should be OK grade-wise.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>The main reason from 9th to 10th was that going into 9th i was plagued by a medical condition that through a variety of treatments went away to a point where I was able to concentrate on school work and other such things</p>

<p>Too early to tell. Much happens in junior year -- events, accomplishments, awards, honors, etc. -- so any 'chances' now will be inaccurate for when you apply. However, I'd say you're on the right track.</p>

<p>thanks for all the input all</p>
