hello, i am an incoming twelfth grader + i am currently extremely stressed about getting into college. in ninth and tenth grade i did not do too well due to a personal issue + eleventh grade was when i started getting back to how i used to do academically.
at the end of the first semester of eleventh grade, my gpa was a 3.3. i recently took the sat + got a 1590 (all three sections) with a 7 on writing. i was informed that the sat i took had an error causing two sections to not be scored so i plan to take the sat again. i had signed up for the act, but was not able to attend so i plan to take it as soon as possible.
i have 100+ volunteer hours, but my extracurriculars are very minimal. i’ve only done skills usa, vita (volunteer income tax), hosa, + was apart of the science club. anything you recommend?
i am in a college readiness program under the architecture magnet so that is ideally what i’d want to major in. if not architecture then business would be my choice.
my dream school would be rensselaer, but i’d be fine with attending utsa. recently i’ve shown interest in baylor’s business school since it is close to home. i don’t believe i stand a chance at getting accepted into any of these schools. what do you think? is there any other schools you would recommend?

yearbook one
i took yearbook because i had no idea what else to choose. i would have liked to take money matters instead, but the teacher will be the same i have had for my past two business classes. he does not give hundreds on daily work assignments because “nothing is perfect” so i do not like taking a class where it is not possible to earn a hundred when i could easily do so. i ended both years of my business classes with ninety-fives instead of hundreds because of this.
should i drop yearbook? if so, what class would you recommend taking?
