<p>well, you're definitely definitely on the right track, but a LOT can happen between now and the end of junior year. After all, there's nothing no one can say about your GPA right now, and your coursework looks great. Your clubs and initiative looks good. I think you'll do absolutely fine.</p>

<p>anyways, wow...I think both of you are definitely on the right track.
to be having those classes and accomplishments during your freshman year is impressive. I dont really know very much about this, taking the fact that I am just an 8th grader, but I think you are doing really good.</p>
