Alright guys. Just to start, I have been lurking this forum since last year and have decided to make an account today. Let me just share my story with you guys, as this is my last chance to make or break my life.
Im a 17 year old kid. Im not the nerd type but I am most definitely intelligent. My whole family comes from medicine, and I can safely say it is what I want to practice in the future. I was spoiled by my parents, drive a BMW, live in a nice house, go to a fancy private school, etc. When I want something I buy it. Simple enough. Im not going to go around buying 50$ video games or clothes or food etc, but If i see a belt or shirt then Ill take it. Anyways. I have never (been lucky enough to) experience of working for what I want. I just need assistance right now guys.

I have some A’s and B+'s. GPA around a 4.8 with unweighted CUM of around 3.6, 3.68 ish. My sat is a 1730, and my ACT is a 27. Right now I need to get my scores up to a 30 ACT or 1950 SAT. I clearly prefer the ACT better but I will still need to improve on both. I have not been studying day and night, but I have been doing problems every day for 2 weeks before the ACT. Of course I know this is not enough, but that is primarily the extent of my preparation. This coming months are going to be the most crucial ones of my life right now. I would just like to know your recommendations for a person like me in order to pull a 30 on the next ACT or a huge increase of 200 points over the next 2 SAT’s. What are your methods or suggestions to reaching my goals?

Current/Goal

Sat

1740/1950

Act

27/30

I just want to thank anyone who posts here and want to say one last thing. You people have no idea HOW BLESSED YOU ARE to work for what you have. I learned this the hard way and now it is coming to bite me in the rear. Thanks again guys.
