<p>I am currently a senior in High School.
I had health issues in 9th and 10th grade, and my grades were dismal (Think below 80). However, after getting better and transferring into a new school and environment I started to do much better. I got a 3.8 in 11th Grade, and I will be getting a 4.0 this year.
Because of my messed up transcript, what I decided to do is go to a CUNY (New York City Public 4 Year College) for a year, get a 4.0 and then transfer.
I took the SAT once and got 650 in Reading, 600 in Math, and 630 in Writing (a 12 on the Essay) (I will take them again, keep in mind i didn't study). I got a 4 in AP English Lang., a 5 in AP PoliSci, and am taking 4 APs this year and hope to get 4s or 5s in all. I have a very extensive list of ECs. I was on Mock Trial, I write for a few different school publications, I was in the law institute, I worked for a presidential campaign, I run a small computer company with a friend of mine, etc. I want to major in Politics and Economics.</p>
<p>I have a list of schools that I am considering/hoping to transfer into. I would like to know what my chances are, if I should bother, what SAT score I need, and if there is anything I can do now to make my chances better. And also, with my interests out there, if there are any schools you would suggest I look into.</p>
