<p>you’re not focused, have no spike. start prepping PSAT now, so you break 215 if west or NJ you’ll need 230. 2.5 hours/week once schools out for the oct exam. You have a mishmash of service. find out what you are about and form a club and lead it and grow teh membership and forget doing a bunch of stuff - it looks like that: a bunch of stuff for a college app. besides the two books you must have and live by, there’s also a thing on the net called, “Hopeless to harvard” which supports what’s in the two books. Most people are not like you and begin thinking how you are , way too late, 8th and 9th grade is perfect.</p>
<p>bravo for you that u’re on it. Goal: 3.9 unweighted. get your math in gear: summer math at a community college for sure. try to finish calc BC junior year, do college multivariable and linear A senior year. Switch to a more impressive language, but you have to do one language for three years. spanish is OK and it’s idiot (what one says one writes and will take care of the prerquesite for most top colleges).</p>
<p>Get Renee Mazar’s “Not too Scary Vocb” 7 CD’s. shop [Shop</a> for Used Textbooks, New Textbooks, Rental Textbooks & eBooks: Direct Textbook](<a href=“http://www.directtextbooks.com%5DShop”>http://www.directtextbooks.com) and buy it cheap. play those over and over until those 500 SAT words you can say their def and spell them before she does (hold pause down) and theyre funny. My son raised his PSAT Read from 55 to 72 just doing the vocab. VoCAB Vocab, math math math. If you don’t get an A, repeat the class, you gotta know each level to do the next. tutors, mathlabs, what ever it takes. Don’t ever let math keep you from what you want to major in. There are two books, slim books, you need to buy (above website) and sleep with them, have them become your bible, till their dog-eared and don’t share with anyone in your school who will be competing with u for admissions:
author: Elizabeth Wissner-Gross titles: What High Schools Don’t Tell You (and Other Parents Don’t Want You to Know): Create a Long-Term Plan for Your 7th to 10th Grader for Getting Into the Top Colleges and her other one, equally as important for you to read now is: What Colleges Don’t Tell You (And Other Parents Don’t Want You to Know): 272 Secrets for Getting Your Kid into the Top Schools.</p>
<p>Get these two books NOW, read them thorough and through immediately. refer to them often. Write us in three years letting us know which Ivy or tippity top LAC you get into (Williams is my favorite! or Harvey Mudd for serious STEM). Good luck to you! there’s no stopping you now. Oh, tell your parents to try to make less than $65K your junior year so you can get a full-ride!</p>
<p>PS: get your gym, body together. Your math is weak, do math this summer at a cc. take their accuplacer (first one should be free) - very accurate assessment of your math ability, excellent. If you just finished first year algebra instead of formal geometry, then you are really behind. You have to do summer math, do two classes, do it all summer, try to get your algebra skills stronger: all math builds on this into Calculus, you cannot be weak in this level of math to go to a top school. math math math. Get your algebra redone if need be and your geomtry done this summer so you can do second year algebra in 10th, summer precalc/trig…public schools with crappy home school laws make this tough. they want to keep their brightest and best in their schools and some times will only let you do college for extra curricls not core. they fought us ,but we know two kids who’re Indian first generation whose Dads are college STEM teachers and the county bowed. I had to fight, cause i’m just a nothing nurse, woman…blah blah. well, i digress. but if your’re not in geometry NOW, you’re screwed. summer math community college is your ticket.</p>
