<p>^^^^^ don't be an idiot.
basketballmj32: i think you have a really good chance at pretty much all of the universities you listed, esp. if you raise your sat score (uva and bc are the ones that are a little iffy) Do you know what you want to study in college? The Spanish & National Honor Society will help if you have a leadership role or are actually dedicated and do stuff in them .</p>
