I’m not sure but I think that my essays we’re pretty good..

I’m taking 5 AP classes this year

Which science course would benefit me the most for college admissions and prep for college?

I’m a little confused. Freshman year I took Earth and Space, then Honors Biology soph year, followed by Honors Chemistry Jr year. My main concern is getting into the best possible college (I take mainly honors courses and one AP) and I excelled at chemistry the most of all three I have taken. I was thinking of AP Chemistry and earning college credits early but my father thinks it may be beneficial to take honors (not AP) physics next year instead, because I will need to know some physics for college. I still need to take 2 SAT II’s also. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

So, will I, or how can I get into UC Berkeley?

Well, I want to major in Political Science, at UC Berkeley, I want to be a prosecutor, also I want to minor in Sociology, both perfect for law school, I am going to attend Law School at UGA, I am a sophmore, but I will graduate next year, so I want to plan ahead. I am very intelligent, not to sound arrogant, I have an A/B average, A’s in English and History, as well as a B in Biology, and a C for one semester and an A for the second semester, and I am going to do anything in my power to get straight A’s from now on, and get an almost perfect score for the SAT/ACT. I am going to start tutoring at the beginning of my Junior year, the year I graduate, to get a tutor for extra SAT/ACT prep. And buy as many practice tests, and do one once a night. Does this sound like a good plan? What other ramification must also be set in order to attend UC Berkeley. Another thing, I’m all the way in Georgia, since my father is in the Navy, do I get state tuition to any college, or is that a rumor?

is the sat 2 biology test harder or easier then the practice tests?

im taking the sat 2 biology and am getting 700’s on the princeton review, kaplan, and sparknotes practice tests..and i wanna get a 750 or higher..i was woundering if the actual test is harder then the practice tests.

Preparations for College?

Ever since I was little (around 7-8) I’ve always wanted to get into a good college, like, Harvard, Stanford, and Johns Hopkins (doctor maybe when I grow up), and I was wondering how rigorous of a schedule/course list do I need? Does it mean I have to most definitely do all APs as earliest as possible, or is it more focused on your GPA?
I’m entering 9th grade taking honors biology, algebra 2 (note I’ve already taken honors geometry), honors english… and of course I’m trying to pursue the best course list.
What advanced classes do colleges look for the most if you want to pursue something in the medical field?
I also know a high SAT score is needed (around 700-750) and to be well at extracurriculars. Do you have any suggestions at extracurriculars?
Yeah, I did a couple science fair projects in the health and medicine category that’ve medaled a couple times. I’m also going to volunteer at a nearby clinic for more volunteer hours for national honors society (I already have like 80ish).

Is the Kaplan SAT Critical Reading Workbook good?

SAT subject test… changing info online?

today i took the biology-m SAT subject test. they made us fill in bubbles with how long (number of semesters) we’ve been taking bio and if we were in AP or not. well, i’ve been taking bio for just one school year, but my school divides the year into weird "trimesters" so im not really used to semesters. and for some idiotic reason, i thought there were 4 semesters in like public schools. so it asked if i’d been taking it for 1,2, or 3 semesters, and i put 3. but i talked to my mom and she told me it was only 2. our proctor kept talking about how we have a couple days to fix our information online, so is there any way i can switch this to 2 semesters?
thanks.

SAT 2 practice tests?

does anyone know where to find free SAT 2 Biology Practice tests?

Can I get into MIT??

I really want to go to MIT ( i do have other colleges in mind ).I started taking high school classes in 7th which were extra curric and language. Currently I’ve completed 2 math classes all honors ( Algebra 1and geometry),3 histories 1 honors two AP , 3 and a half Sciences ( Earth Science , Chem, physics, and half biology all honors ( Don’t ask why half bio it happened to most of my class) ,Latin 1,2,and 3 honors, and 3 choir classes and two arts .Next year im taking 3 AP’s ( Bio , English Comp, and Psychology) and im taking Honors Algebra/Trig. This year im a junior and my freshman year my grades where a’s and b’s and sophomore it def wasn’t as good . This year i plan on getting All A’s if possible and getting high scores on the ACT and SAT subject test. Ive been faithful to choir until this year and i have volunteered by tutoring my freshman year and i guess another extra curric is Graphic Design which i took last year and this year as well. Please tell me if i have a chance to get in and if it helps my estimated ACT score is 26 and that’s when i was majorly almost dying sick, also tell me what i need to work on . Thanks. oh and my GPA was a 3.7 but now its a 3.2 which i will get up again .
