Currently a junior... what can I do to improve between now and senior year?

<p>Thanks so much for the responses guys! The SAT score should be no problem; I should be in the 2250-2350 range at this point based on practice tests. </p>

<p>As far as the Vietnam class, it’s a course I’m genuinely highly interested in taking, and at this point I don’t really care if colleges don’t like that I’m taking it, though I could possibly substitute it for AP Economics…</p>

<p>I’m most daunted by the community service factor. Is 500 hours really necessary? I’ve had to work hard just to get to 150, and since I now work up to 20 hours a week at my job, I literally do not have enough time! I love volunteering, but any suggestions on how I might be able to supplement the lack of hours?</p>
