<p>Seeing as how you’re a freshman… YES. You can get into both of those schools. You have 2.5 years to turn your grades UP. (Especially since you’re not doing EA or ED!)</p>
<p>Now, you’e weighted GPA is only .1 higher than your unweighted, so that makes me think that you’re not taking challenging courses. You NEED to take challenging courses.</p>
<p>You need to buckle down and study and study and study. Log off CC, facebook, and myspace. Turn that cell phone OFF.</p>
<p>You definitely need to retake the SAT. Seeing as your a freshman, I’m guessing you probably took the SAT in 7th grade as a talent search. (Most students don’t take it from grade 8-10.) That definitely means that you can way up your scores. Even if you took the SAT this year, you still are likely to up them a good bit. (You have above average scores for a freshman.)</p>
<p>Maybe try the Xiggi Method and study for the SATs.</p>
<p>And… GET INVOLVED next year. As soon as school starts, choose 5-6 clubs or activities to get involved with that interest you. Choose good ones, because you want to keep these through the end of your senior year. If you’re not sure, join LOTS your sophomore year, and then drop the ones you don’t like your junior year.</p>
<p>You CAN do it. It’s just going to take a LOT of work. =)</p>
