<p>Keep on working on those EC's, be committed to them, keep up the good work in terms of grades, and try researching for some programs to do over the summer. The summer between freshman year and sophomore year doesn't have to mindblowing, but it would nice if you were in a program, or got a job, or something like that. The next few summers will be important. As of right now, you're doing fine.</p>

<p>Stop worrying. Do stuff you actually want to do and not because you think it'll get you into college. Weird and unusual ecs are best.</p>
