Will have a total of 5 sciences and 5 maths by end of next yr. Next yr's math's include: Statistics H+ & Pre Calc H+

Clubs by end of next yr will include: Mu Alpha Theta, National Honors Society, Student Council, Historical Society, Thesbian, Spanish, Science (treasurer), Interact, Beta, S-club, Pep, First Priority (maybe)
ACT score: First time = 27 .. I know this is low, but I cannot tell you how nervous I was. A 30 next time for sure, and then in Oct. 30+ hopefully.
Applying for ED

<p>you might want to try the SAT's if you don't get that 30 next time you take the ACT's</p>

<p>WOW! Thanks guys!!!! To be perfectly honest I wasn't sure I had a shot. I guess I keep doubting myself. Unfortunatly I only hold Treasurer position in Science club. I'll see what I can do about being an officer in some others, but I'm not sure how possible that will be. THANKS AGAIN GUYS! You'd really made my day....year... life. Lol. Anyone else have any input?</p>
