<p>I know, not the greatest stats for the schools im looking into. Btw im a junior. What can i do to improve my stats? I am ready to work crazy hard and pull 95+'s in all my classes next semster and pull my GPA up. Any suggestions on EC’s and such??</p>

<p>Yea, im a junior.
I know i rly need to work my ass of, but idc im rdy. </p>

<p>The thing is what should i do to improve these stats. Obviously GPA is a factor, and im aiming for all 95+ next semester.
Another factor is SAT, but i think i can pull 2200+ on it.
And then ec’s and ap’s.
As far as ec’s i think they aren’t bad. I plan on doing research this summer for intel/siemens. But i have 1 AP so far. I’m self-studying Psych, APES, and Calc AB. </p>

<p>WHAT ELSE SHOULD I DO?!!?!?</p>
