<p>AP Calc, Physics, Government, US History </p>
<p>Goal: I'm looking into the University of Illinois - Urbana right now as my top choice. It has been my dream school since I was 10, but the closer I get towards the end of my HS career, the more doubts I'm having. I'm also interested in Georgia Tech and the University of Florida. </p>
<p>I know the idea of improvement is very relative - and regardless of your answers I'm going to work my very hardest next year - but hearing a response from you guy is crucial and would be just awesome! So am I on the right track? Illinois wouldn't be a reach would it after my qualifications? Though I am lacking in some ECs and awards...</p>
