<p>You do realize that since you're only a sophomore, things can really change the next two years when you have to fill out apps right? I mean, you still have your junior and senior years which are very important. You have a good start but still...who knows what can happen? Maybe in the next year your grades will decline to an all time low. You have a lot of "I will probably do this" "Planning on doing that" "Aiming for this". Its to early to tell if you will be going to any of those schools. You haven't even taken the sats yet.</p>

<p>Don't predict your life, because you don't know where its headed. Try to do the best you can out of your circumstances and you will be fine...</p>

<p>Specify 'Ivy", no two schools are the same and some are really polar opposites.</p>

5

<p>any advice or anything else. And I did specify ivy</p>

6

<p>First off, what are you planning to head into? I dont necessarily mean a major, but a field?
Then i can help you out.</p>

7

<p>Im like 99% going into business... 80% econ major</p>

<p>I think i should be good for that major, i find econ interesting and its an easy major... i wanna do a bunch of things when im older</p>

<p>The stats, and both econs should look good, especially if i specify an econ major</p>

<p>You're off to an excellent start, kishin m. Keep it up and if you are able accomplish what you say you can, you'll have great chances at most of those schools.</p>

<p>any other advice??</p>
