<p>Keith,</p>
<p>Good for you! You are realistic and attacking your deficiencies. A few ideas:</p>
<p>1) Make sure you let your MALO know how passionate you are and be able to articulate exactly why.<br>
2) Prep like crazy for both of the exams and make sure WP receives the scores quickly. You don’t want to miss the deadline.
3) Make sure you send in the card saying you’ll be interested in USMAPS. It could be a viable option for you.
4) Prep some more for the exams. Do NOT be overconfident about the scores you expect to receive.
5) Can you consider cutting back some of your hours at work? It could allow you a bit more prep/study time.
6) Get an A in your AP WH class. It will show that you can handle higher level academics. Also, if your school weights gpa’s, it will certainly help.
7) Do you run track also? Any chance of being the team captain this year? </p>
<p>You’re right to focus on the exams. If you’ve read aspen’s posts on the subject, he has said that at this stage of the game, it’s the best option that you can control. And you control it by prepping.</p>
