<li>About my grades, i did really bad fresh and soph year but gradually started brining it up at the end of junior year. I currently have a 4.0 average this year so far ( I know its early) and hope It stays that way. and also im sure I can raise my SAT's, the first time i took them i skipped 2 pages and such, but my recent practice tests have been in the 600's for all sections and ill try to make that my score range for the upcoming one. I know i should obviously keep my grades the way they are, but how will my SAT scores play a role, and my EC's? thanks .</li>
