<p>Hi guys! I'm only a junior, but I plan on applying to some really hardcore ivy league schools, and it would be really awesome if some of you could give me some advice about my senior year (whether or not to step it up a notch, etc) based on my current performance if I am to make it haha. Thanks in advance, you're doing me a huge favor =D</p>
<p>Just throwing it out there that I'm a big music and languages person, I'm probably going to wind up majoring in International relations/Humanities. Maybe a double major with Pre-med or political science, not sure.</p>
