<p>I'm currently a sophomore and I was wondering what I'll need to improve in the next two years in order to get into Stanford (Reach) and USC (or Tulane or Emory) because those are my top two schools. I want to major in English with a Creative Writing focus. I'm trying to get a head start on the old college search to make sure that I can get into a good school for me.
I'm not going to start anything to get into these schools, but any small recommendations would be nice. :)</p>

<p>I don't have a practice SAT score or anything else, but I'm a slightly above average student. What are my chances of getting into Stanford and USC if I continue at the rate that I'm going?
