<p>What do you guys think of my stats, schools, etc? Give me any input or reactions you have. Thanks! Also, if you guys have any questions or need a second opinion about schools, I'm here for you.</p>

<p>lol ur only a sophomore, u dont need our help. try to do things that u think will boost ur chances in 12th grade and start applying to colleges early. start lookin at scholarships if it makes u feel better. again, ur a sophomore, ur gpa or stats may dramatically drop or rise int he next 2 years, so dont worry so much. my gpa, motivation, attendance, basically everything else, dropped dramatically from sophomore to junior year. so yea...just make sure u dont screw up in the next two years and u'll be fine. enjoy the best year of ur highschool ahah!</p>

<p>As far as your EC's go, keep them up, continue them throughout high school, try to get involved in more writing/photography/journalist type of EC's like get an internship get into some writing program at your local library etc. I think you are on a good path, just keep it up. Continue to be Yearbook Editor, etc.</p>

<p>Your gpa/rank might keep you out of many of those schools. Work hard for the next two years, and you'll certainly be in the running! Remember, junior/senior yr grades are the most important! Good luck.</p>
