How should I improve?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm not asking for chances. I am asking how to improve myself for college. I have high ambition for being a Sophomore (Contradictory to my username). My number one school is CalTech. Also, Stanford and Cornell are up there too. </p>

<p>I know these are super selective schools. That's why I am starting a bit early.
My grades: 1st semester/ 2nd semester
9th Grade:
Spanish-A/B
P.E.-A/A
Geometry-A/B
Lang Comp-B/B
Orchestra-A/A
Pre-AP Biology-B/B</p>

<p>I cannot determine my grades this semester because I haven't taken finals. However, they will approximately turn out to be:</p>

<p>Algebra 2/Trig - B
AP World History-B
Spanish 2-B
Orchestra-A
Chemistry-A
English-Borderline B-A
Logic-A</p>

<p>I know that a lot of these are B's. I do not want to appear that way. I go to a somewhat small school, and my graduating class will be approximately 50 kids. This is what scares me. The top 10% will be 5 people. If I remained at the normal public school down the street, it would be the top 70 people. My school is much more competitive also. </p>

<p>I have taken the PSAT, and got a 51 Reading, 53 Math, 51 Writing. There is a lot of room for improvement there also. </p>

<p>So what do you say? What do I need to accomplish to reach my dream schools?</p>

<p>Well obviously to get into some top schools like that you need a higher GPA and raise those test scores. Some ECs depending on what you want to do would be great to see. Other than mainly GPA and Test scores raised thats all you can really do for the time being.</p>
