but i am not very smart i don’t think i will get very good

You are a sophomore. You still have 2 years to raise your GPA and time to study for your SAT and ACT. Don’t give up yet and don’t feel stressed, because if you are stressed now as a sophomore, you will feel twice as worse as a junior. I think you are not in the right mindset right now and you need to change it before you can begin excelling in school again. Look on the bright side and think of the things you are doing good and fix what you are doing wrong. If you have a will to go to UCI or UCSD and you set your goal as that, then reach for it. Don’t feel like you can’t make it if you haven’t even taken the SAT… you still have quite a few months before you need to really worry about it. And also, colleges look for all sides of a student, not just scores. They will look at extracurricular things (which you have), clubs your in, volunteer time, your essay, etc. Sometimes they will do an interview and look at your personality. For now, don’t think about if you are smart or not; think about your classes and improve on your weaknesses. Then you will be able to do much better in class and reach your full potential.
