<p>*** What schools should I lookat??? </p>

<p>my HIGH REACH choices (as a junior so far):</p>

<p>Cornell (HIGH reach)
Duke (EXTREMELY HIGH reach)
NYU (High reach)
Georgetown</p>

<p>I know my GPA Is low…I know, but so far this junior year first semester I have a 93 average, so im looking to boost. What do you all suggest I improve?</p>

<p>P.s: why do i constantly keep getting 1500s!! How should I approach differently? And should I take this SAT in January just to test out, then go really really hard for senior year in October?</p>
