<p>I am going to be a really interesting case, because I had a horrible 9th grade year, better but only slightly above average 10th grade year and what is turning out to be a strong 11th grade year with IB courses for which i received 6 credits each as long as I have over an 85(which I do). The bright side is I am going to have a very high SAT score. I did a full practice SAT test in a test setting, three times and the last time scored a 2180! My goal is a 2250+ and I really think with my newfound determination I can do it.</p>
<p>The big question is though what kind of schools do I apply to? Now I see that I have gotten off my lazy a** I am a really bright and capable student. I was a late bloomer but there were some personal issues which also held me back a little (no I am not looking for excuses and will not even list this on my applications but just letting you know). I mean do I just apply to a wide range and hope for the best? Any helpful advice as I gear up to end my 11th grade year on a high note and continue studying like mad for this test? I will be applying in just about 6 months and really am starting to ponder this question. Know I have come to the right place! Thanks in advance:)</p>
