<p>Hey, everyone! Well, I never really thought about college until recently, but I always believed that I had good chances of getting into top notch colleges (not to be conceited, it's just what everyone always told me).

*I'm a junior, but this is all what I know I'm going to be doing senior year)</p>
<p>SAT I- 2190 (first time- taking it again and aiming for 2200+)
Sat II's- USH 730, World 690, Lit 750 (English and History classes are my strength)</p>
<p>Ethnicity- I'm 25% Hispanic, which I'm told allows me to put Hispanic on applications</p>
<p>Well, that's about it... I haven't really done anything incredible, but oh well. Thanks to everyone who answers. I'd chance you back, but I wouldn't really know what I'm talking about..</p>
