<p>I realize this it is kinda early for me to ask, but I'm going into Junior year, and I wanted to know what I need to improve on, so I can plan ahead of time. </p>
<p>I am very ambitious about getting into a PreMed program and UPenn is also one of my top college choices. Duke and UPenn are my top 2. However, after a couple of school meetings and such, I was asked to consider other majors. I have also begun to be interested in Law this year after participating in Model UN and Debate Sessions. It sounds corny I know, but I am not interested in Medicine and Law for the money, but because my greatest strengths and passions are in those professions.</p>
<p>Anyway, could someone please tell me if I am on the right track on what I am doing and what I need to improve on to qualify for such a college?</p>

<p>I took the AP World History test this year, I’m awaiting the grade. World History was a bit confusing for me so I think I got a 4? AP US will probably be a bit easier because it’s chronologically oriented.</p>

<p>I have a GPA of 4.0 so far, and my school does not do rankings as far as I know.</p>
<p>I know it's early and I am still missing some very important numbers such as SAT, SAT IIs, ACT and other AP grades, but If I continue to do what I am doing, do I have a good chance?</p>
<p>I am also of Asian ethnicity, 50% Chinese 50% Korean, 100% Asian. A lot of people have told me this matters, but I figure that this is one that that I can not change, so what areas (academically) do I need to improve/strengthen?</p>
