Hey everybody! I’m currently a sophomore in high school and I just wanted to know on what areas I can improve on for me to improve my chances of getting into a decent college. My 2 dream schools are either UPENN or Columbia, but I am interested in going to NYU or WASHU.

I haven’t taken any AP or SAT tests so far but I did recieve a 1430 on this year’s PSAT.
I have only taken APWH so far and I am planning on taking AP psych, lang, and bio next year. (Most likely going to major in psychology)
