<p>As a sophomore, work on relaxing a little. You can’t keep up a breakneck pace for seven years.</p>

<p>Try to build up leadership positions in your extracurriculars. If you have too many, colleges will just write you off as a resum</p>

<p>Wow, I completely forgot about this thread! Thanks for the feedback peggysue.</p>

<p>Another thing I’ve been worrying about is that I’m not doing much over the summer. Would this be a setback?</p>

<p>No one can give you any idea based on the info you give. scores are vital as is where you stand in your class even when a school does not rank. What country you’re from and how represented it is also is key information as is if you will need financial aid.</p>
