    If you do well on your SAT/ACT and your AP classes and keep up your grades and (everything you are doing which is excellent) you will probably have multiple acceptances to the top universities.

    Remember balance is key.

    Wow! I’ve been in a community college for two semesters, working on my third, and I don’t have half the amazing things you do. Keep up your GPA through the end of high school and it looks like you have a great application! I also suggest applying for scholarships and grants, even if you don’t necessarily need the money, it’ll be cash you can save for a house or car later. Your hard work will really pay off soon! Way to go!
