<p>You are on the right track, but that does not mean anything. You need to make sure your GPA does not fall, and make sure your junior year course selection is strong (take some AP's). Your ec activities are good, but make sure you do well on your SAT. It is impossible to tell until you complete at least the first semester of your junior year.</p>

<p>just keep studying hard for that 240 SAT</p>

<p>Huh? Don't study for the PSAT. You've already done well enough on the first one that you'll definitely do fine on the second. The colleges never see your PSAT score anyway, so as long as you're in the range to be considered for National Merit, your score doesn't really matter.</p>

<p>You look good, but as other people have said, as a sophomore it's really impossible to tell right now what your chances are. Just keep taking challenging courses and taking leadership roles in extra-curricular activities. Good luck!</p>
