<p>I plan on taking as many AP classes as possible, although my school only offers a few.
I go to a college prep school that is very difficult and has a great reputation. We also are on the 1:1 program, and are programs and curriculum is through a laptop which every student receives. I'm taking as many honors as possible, but I am not good enough to take honors math. </p>

<p>Extra Curriculuars:</p>

<p>Violin: played for 14 years taking private lessons. I've been in a youth symphony for 8 years, which is hard to get into. People accepted into it live in a 2 hour range from where rehearsals are. Youth Symphony for 4 years, first violin for 4 years. Took part in MEA for 2 years which is a state wide competition.</p>

<p>Soccer: been playing since i was 4. 12 years of travel soccer. ODP - made the state team. attended national tryout camp ID2. Varsity 4 years. Started 3. placed 4th in state freshman year. Planning to be all sectional and make all state.</p>

<p>I haven't taken the ACT or the SAT yet.
I took the Explore test in 8th grade.
I received an overall score of 21 out of 25.
English i got a 100% and in the 100 percentile.
Science: 98% ; 99 percentile
Reading: 94%; 92 percentile
Math: 78%; 75 percentile.. yikes</p>

<p>** Took this course during beginning of 8th grade year. I hadn't taken Algebra yet because of the way my grade schools classes were set up. Math is not my strength but I now have a tutor and have been doing a lot better. </p>

<p>I hope to double major in Music and English</p>

<p>soccerlove22, You are off to a great start! You may want to re-post next year, after you get some more classes and SAT/ACT tests under your belt, since it is too early to chance you without more info. So far so good!!</p>

<p>You appear to be on the right track. Plan on taking the PSAT next year/Junior year-and mark NU as your first choice university. That way if you are identified as a National Merit Scholar, you can be eligible for merit financial aid scholarship.
If you are interested in Music & English, are you looking into a summer activity that expands that interest?
Good Luck!
