<p>I am a junior in New England. I have a 3.8-3.9 (UW) and 4.40 (W). I take all honors classes and am currently taking one AP class. </p>

<p>I have great ECs. I am a part of five clubs. I am president in one of them and I started one club. And I have attended an Ivy League's summer journalism program and because of my EC I have been on the NY Times.com!</p>

<p>I was a lead volunteer at a prestigious hospital and have 200 hours of service. I am also a part of the student government. </p>

<p>I am a great writer so my essay should be good any teacher-counselor recs should be amazing also</p>

<p>I got a 149(0) on my PSATs, but I was sick that day and I studied for about 30 minutes. I am not making any excuses. I got a 1950 on my first practice SAT test!</p>

<p>I will get a 2000+ on the real test if I study hard enought!</p>

<p>Will that ruin my chances for those schools?</p>

<p>I will STUDY HARD for the SATs and I have enrolled in Kaplan!</p>

<p>Your grades and ECs look good. I think the only thing you should do is aim for a 2200+ or higher on your SAT Is. If you can get at least a 2200, I think you stand a great shot at getting in. Don’t worry man, you still have time to work on it!</p>

<p>From the SN I’m guessing you’re a Lakers fan?</p>

3

<p>Yes, I’m a big Lakers fan!</p>

<p>So if I get a good SAT scores, do you think I can get in?</p>

<p>I think so man, everything else looks good for you. I’d take a ton of AP classes next year too, they like to see kids that keep the pedal on the floor their senior year. Good job so far on your HS career.</p>

<p>You live in New England, how did you become a Lakers fan? I love the Lakers too and I’m from Wisconsin, so I’m just curious.</p>

<p>Why not like the Lakers! Best team in the world! I got hooked at age 6 haha</p>
