</ol>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Seen CC earlier!
Studied way more for the SAT / taken it more than two times. Practice helps!
Taken lots of languages since every year you get older it gets harder!
Studied abroad!
Planned something worthwhile for my summers! (My Harvard interview lady definitely asked me what I did with them, and I kind of skirted around the issue.)</p>
<p>Sleep more, manage my time better, actually did something else freshman and summer besides burying my nose in biology books (though that wasn’t so bad XD), join more science related ECs.</p>
<p>Learnt proper study skills in 9th grade. Understood where I was heading earlier. Not have spread myself so thin with my EC’s. Done more volunteer work. Studied for standardised tests. Not procrastinated my time away. Had smart boyfriends. Gossiped less, and paid more attention in class. Not moved high schools in 11th grade.</p>
<p>classic3020-
it was just the fact that I’ve been with the same people since kidnergarten (spelling?) and my high school was tiny, not to mention the fact that many of my “peers” were very rude and ignorant. I know I’m not perfect, believe me, but many of these people were just ridiculous. I know I’m not the only one though, like someone else said high school is definately hell for most of us…</p>
<p>i would have gone to a different high school… :(</p>
<ul>
<li> Get more sleep.</li>

<li> Spend more time with friends.</li>
<li> Study more for my harder classes (APUSH! AP Calc BC! AP Stats!)</li>
<li> Get to know MORE people…</li>
<li> Get involved in a wider range of ECs (I do mostly student government and other government related clubs like MUN, MC)</li>
<li> Take the ACT!</li>
<li> Take the SAT IIs earlier so I could have a chance to improve (we’ll see if this is necessary tomorrow).</li>
