<p>Yeah, I know it's hard to chance a sophmore, but I'm just asking so when I'm a senior I'll have better "chances". Other than my low test scores, is there anything else I need to improve? (ECs, more APs?)</p>
<p>I'm not sure which subject areas you mean in particular (they could be math/science-oriented or humanities, or perhaps both.) Caltech would certainly meet the other two criteria you mentioned. </p>
<p>While your motive is understandable to start so early, college admissions weren't meant to be something that started at the beginning of high school. Don't worry about this stuff too much just yet. Find activities you enjoy, do them as much as you like, and in the end, you should find a good school that fits your interests. Relax for the time being.</p>
