<p>Maybe you can do some now, but it might be kind of late...but you know what, it's honestly worth a try.</p>

<p>Without the CS, I'm basically aiming a lot lower? Where should I aim then?</p>

<p>Colleges aren't really impressed by things you did your freshman year and then quit... I was in three clubs for only 9th grade, I don't intend to even mention them.</p>
