<p>Hi guys. I recently stumbled upon this forum while all my senior friends were applying ED to colleges. When all the letters started coming back, it hit me that these college apps are close, and really not that much time is left for me to prepare. So I have decided to ask all you guys since you all seem very knowledgeable about the subject. I’ve been reading this site so much lately, I just had to post myself. Could you please read my stats and tell me where I could improve and what I should do to improve it? Thanks!</p>

<p>Your SAT I and SAT II, IMO. The rest looks good. :)</p>

<p>Run away from this forum, and return in 2 years. You don't want to get stuck here.</p>

<p>Damn, I'm glad you're not in my class. One more accepted spot that I wouldn't get.</p>

5

<p>What do you think your favorite area is? That's what some of the college interviewers might ask you. Do you leave time in your schedule to read for fun? That will help pull up your SAT scores some more.</p>

<p>You're in excellent shape! 1350 in 7th grade? Dang...just like my brother... My advice: Keep your grades up, and do well on your SATs when you retake them for real. (I doubt you'll have any problem doing that.) I don't think you have anything to worry about.</p>

<p>Btw, I went to CTY the summers after 8th and 9th grade. :)</p>

<p>You're pretty much an automatic admit! Wow! That resume is awesome! Just bump the SAT score up and take 2 more sat 2's and you are in!</p>

<p>yay thanks all!</p>
