<p>I will be a junior next fall and I am incredibley worrisome about getting into a good and well or decently ranked college after my senior year because I did so horrible during my first two years. due to social and home issues. I am seeking guidance and opinions of what others believe my chances into getting into my school choices are. Since I am only halfway finished with high school, many of these EC's and grades for junior and senior year will be hypothetical, as they have not happened yet. Please reply as so.</p>

All of the same extra-curriculars. I will continue to do volunteer work. My goal of hours is 350. My goal through the clubs I'm founding for the whole student-body is 2,000. By that summer, I suppose I will have the steady internship I was offered the summer before junior year at my science camp, but I will have already known what colleges I've been accepted to.
Will the improvement from sophomore year to junior year be significant?</p>
<p>What kind of SAT/ACT scores would be necessary for any of the starred colleges and the "Super Reaches?"</p>
