<p>Just the fact that you're a sophomore and thinking about colleges makes me think you're going to be OK.</p>

<p>I can't really chance you with any certainty though because I'm only a high schooler myself, and if I had any clue about how colleges choose students I wouldn't be on this thread.</p>

<p>My advice would be to make sure you're doing everything because you really have a passion to do it... not just so that it looks good for colleges.</p>

<p>I agree with ly2m.
You look like you're really on top of things, though. If you keep consistently with what you are truly passionate about in your EC's, you'll be fine.</p>

<p>Grade-wise, I can't really judge yet because it's only freshman and sophomore year - and those classes tend to be the easiet.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Haha go get a life and come back in a year.</p>

<p>It is really hard to say without SAT/ACT, junior grades and SAT IIs.</p>

<p>If you're normal try to have some fun, and hang out w/ friends..But if you're really really passionate try to improve your EC's for now. Your main EC's are tennis, and business. If you manage to get a minor award at state for DECA that'll be awesome, and really good..You should be enjoying life atm since you're not really busy atm. but again, if you're really interested in college, then work hard on toning your EC's since you'll be VERY busy when you're in AP courses + SAT. Try to get some sectional or state recognition and leadership in tennis + Leadership in other things. </p>

<p>Your grades and other stuff are fine tho.</p>
