<p>OP, everything looks great, however, I fear your SAT will prevent you from getting awards for which you might have otherwise been a prime candidate. Do you plan to retake the SAT?</p>

<p>Also, do you speak Spanish at home? If yes, then you should have selected another language for the AP exam.</p>

3

<p>Yes, I plan on taking them in the fall. Hopefully my scores will increase.</p>

<p>^ great. Study hard, use SAT study guides. You have enough time to make a difference. Good luck. :)</p>

<p>Being from Frederick myself, I can say that you have definitley accomplished quite alot, and you should be very proud of all that you have accomplished. You’ll definitley get in to honors, and if you can get 1350+ SAT (CR+M), you will at least get the Dean’s Scholarship.</p>
