<p>I have been doing pretty bad in my freshman and sophomore classes so far.. and I want to step it up since I want to attend a pretty good university. I took honors in 9th and got most marking periods all a's and 2 or 1 b's. I didn't do much ec though.. so far for my sophomore year I'll probaly get 3 b's and rest a's which I know is horrible. (1 ap class and rest honors, side note my high school only offers 1 ap class in 10th) I'm looking to start working harder and improving all grades to A's. Also next year I will probaly take 3 ap since that is all my school offers.</p>
<p>Background on myself, I'm a Chinese that was born in China and still only have a green card. My family isn't that well off 50k< and yeah.. any advice?</p>
<p>Advice about what? you don't really say. If you don't know how to improve, go for tutoring or if your teachers have walk-in hours go to that. Start improving now, not in the future.</p>
<p>No, it's not the grades. That's something I can improve if I stop procrastinating. Just like studying for SAT's whether to do it through books, cds, or classes? Also like what ec's I should be doing and etc. Since I'm a Asian I'm not sure if I will do Tennis since many other Asians do that.. is it better to play tennis anyway rather than not taking a sport this year? Also which out of these sports would make me standout most between soccer, track, cross country, tennis, golf.., or volleyball?</p>
