<p>I just want some guidance lol</p>

<p>take the amc 12 instead of amc 10. people do not realize it is much easier to get to the aime by taking amc 12. </p>

<p>also, get more summer research stuff. keep up the grades and just keep doing what you are doing now. get on the good side of teachers and I daresay you will be quite competitve for harvard,yale, princeton. also get some high sats. like 2350+ and 3 800s on the SAT iis. Maybe it sounds high, but you seem to be of that caliber.</p>
