I am glad you are trying to compile your list as a freshman. Hopefully you will get the grades you list or come pretty close.

A couple of things:

1. Focus on ACT and/or SAT. Try to get your ideal grade by junior year.

2. Dont forget PSAT. Be prepared for that test in junior year.

3. Apply for summer programs. LEAD is one of the best programs for minority students. There are also several free programs such as MIT or CMU. Recently I learned of a premed program at U of Miamia for minority students of single household. They actually give you a $2500 stipend!

4. Strive to be president of at least one club that you have a passion.

Good luck!
