<p>I’ve just finished my sophomore year and significantly improved myself in all areas that admissions has looked at after having a rough freshmen year. So, I’m just curious as to what my chances are as of now and what they will be if I continue on an upward path.</p>

<p>Academics
-3.33 GPA
-1 Honors class which was taken freshmen year
-This years classes consisted of all CP classes, which is the next level beneath honors.
-Next years schedule will consist of Honors British Literature, Honors Algebra 2, Honors Chemistry, AP European History, a theology course (mandatory), and my school has a group of classes called minors which are also required, French 2. (I switched from public school where I took Italian to a private school which did not offer Italian and so I had to start with French 1.)
-Took SAT as an 8th grader and scored 1,000. Don’t now specifics about the scores, but I’m obviously going to be taking them again Junior and if need be senior year (already starting to prepare).</p>

<p>Athletics
-JV Baseball, hopefully and probably V next year.
-Working out now for V football for next year.

<p>raise the GPA, take the SATs over, and look into taking the ACT. i'd say more leadership spots, but everything else looks good</p>

<p>Hopefully I'll be captain of the Mock Trial team in at least one or my two remaining years. As for sports captain, that may or may not happen since I came to the school my sophomore year and they look for kids who have been with the program longer to be captains, but even without the title of captain I look to help out the underclassmen and show them the ropes.</p>

<p>ah well that's good. ECs are important, but academics are most important</p>
