I haven't taken my SAT's yet but my PSAT score was 200 (Realllly hoping to improve that for my SAT's especially in Math - I can't remember the separate scores and I can't find my report, but I'll try to find it)</p>

<p>Academic Awards/honors:
Science Fair Competitions - for my school I've gotten 2nd in 9th and 1st in 10th, in regionals I've always gotten 1st, in state's I've always gotten 2nd
Outstanding Science Achievement Award 9th/10th
Outstanding Academic Excellence Recognition 9th/10th
Outstanding Freshmen Business Student 9th
We don't have a lot of underclassmen awards at my school, but I'm hoping to do some scholarship kind of stuff this year.</p>
<p>Major: I think I would like to major in Linguistics, but music is my #1 hobby (I play saxophone, flute, guitar, clarinet, piano, and I'm getting my first accordion this weekend, and music has always been my life) and as time goes on I feel like I need to pursue it and become a music teacher. I'm not sure yet, but I have some more time to decide.</p>
