<p>I am only a sophomore, but I am starting to think about colleges early. I want to make sure that I don't start out with too broad a list and without having anything to really aim for. So if you guys could help me out and let me know, just based on my stats so far, what my chances are at some colleges, i would really appreciate it.</p>

High School: very competitive Jesuit College Preparatory
Freshman GPA: 2.8 (a lot of personal problems, but I don't know how much freshman grades count, and if I will be able to explain the low GPA)
Sophomore GPA: 3.6uw/3.8w (I know colleges like upward trends...)
one honors class (english-freshman and sophomore years...I plan to take AP History, AP English, and AP Government)</p>

<p>PLAN (pre-SAT/ACT test that predicts SAT, ACT scores): predicted 1500+</p>

<p>wow you rock girl!!!
there is nothing funny about starting early--you're smart!
Freshmen avg does count...but not that much, as long as your overall avg is high...and it seems that yours is. Certainly take A.P--I would suggest 5--well, not all at once, but 5 seems to be a good #. You will stand out w/ your grades. Umm, NYU will take you even more greatly if you apply Early Decision. Don't mess up on your SATs. No need to take SATII. Also, if you are broke (hehe) you could be considered for HEOP...but that is if your income is low, and your grades are not as wonderful.
Anyways, so far you rock!</p>
