<p>I am glad you are trying to compile your list as a freshman. Hopefully you will get the grades you list or come pretty close.</p>
<p>A couple of things:
- Focus on ACT and/or SAT. Try to get your ideal grade by junior year.
- Dont forget PSAT. Be prepared for that test in junior year.
- Apply for summer programs. LEAD is one of the best programs for minority students. There are also several free programs such as MIT or CMU. Recently I learned of a premed program at U of Miamia for minority students of single household. They actually give you a $2500 stipend!
- Strive to be president of at least one club that you have a passion.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
