Hello, I’m a home schooled, high school junior who’s kind of stressing about the next two years before college. I would really appreciate if someone could give me advice about whether I’m on the right track so far and what I should really focus on for the next two years. I also have a few questions. How good is my SAT score, and should I take it again twice or will it be a waste of time? And if I do worse the second time will it affect anything? Is there anything else I should do for ECs/volunteering/honors? And are there any other colleges in NY that I should consider? Most of my info is below.

Sorry if this is all over the place! I just feel like I have no clue what I’m doing when it comes to preparing for college >.<
