<p>Hi, i'm only a freshman and just completed my first semester. I am in the International Baccalaureate full diploma program. I have not taken the SATs YET. I am predicting my final grades for freshman year to be all A's and 2 B's or All A's and one B. Freshmen and Sophmore years are only the Pre-IB courses, and the real IB courses start in junior-senior year. These are the classes i am taking:</p>

<p>IB Biology (Honors)
IB Spanish (Honors)
IB English (Honors)
IB Geometry (Honors)
AP Environmental Science (AP)
AP Human Geography (AP)</p>

<p>So i am aiming for around 3.6-3.8 Unweighted GPA, and around 4.8-5.0+ weighted GPA.</p>

<p>I am one out of the five freshmen taking more than one AP course in the freshmen IB class.</p>

<p>Next year i plan to take Fast Track in Math (Algebra 2 and Pre-Calc), so then i can skip to IB/AP Calculus in Junior year. </p>

<p>I am taking SAT classes(The teacher's children both got perfect SAT scores after taking the class, and also qualified for National Merit). </p>

<p>I am not taking any extracurriculars in school, because it is hard for my parents to drive 40 minutes every day, and we have a carpool so my parents would have to pick me up seperately. I will probably start Tennis next year. Also i will join the Math club next year, and probably chess club. </p>

<p>Can someone give me some tips/directions on where i should be heading?</p>

<p>Relax . Come back in 2 years when you are finished with the first semester of your Jr year and have taken the SAT or some SAT subject tests. Until then it is ridiculous to even think about which colleges you might be eligible for. Keep your focus on doing your best in HS until then.</p>

<p>please chill out. your path will be much easier if you stop worrying about the logistics and statistics in freshman year. come back in two years. focus on your schoolwork and do what you're passionate about</p>

<p>If your SAT teacher can get all kids a perfect score with her class, send me her number, I want to invest in her, we'll make endless millions!</p>

<p>Nice. But do spend some time on ... extra-curriculars. You'll need to relax and do things you really enjoy.</p>
