Re: juniors 06!!!!

I am stressed about the SAT's and ACT's, but im just trying to not let it get to me. I got a 1210 on Math/Verbal-1790 with Writing on my PSAT's, however, for the schools I want to apply to, that won't cut it. My GPA has taken a hit this year too, because im in a few classes that are mainly meant for Seniors and then a few AP classes. Next year im slated to take 6 AP courses, hoping to get some credits out of my frosh year at college. My extracurricular activites, I must say are very good; Robotix Co Capt-Future Business Leaders of America Sec/VP-Model UN Exec board-Academic Team-Media Productions-German Club.

School wise, i have a couple ideas of where i want to go and what i want to do.
1. University of Michigan(Ann Arbor)-Mainly for their Sports management program and hopefully a side of Engineering or Statistics.
2. Boston University-My sister goes there and absolutely loved the kinds of classes she could take and how everything is run.
3. WPI-I would go there to major in Robotics and Business.
4. University of California(Berkeley)-Great overall school, plus its West Coast.
5. Princeton-If i could get in, i would die. But its near impossible. Extra Curriculars may help me, but GPA is not gonna get me there.
6. Harvard/MIT-Fat Chance, but you never know, the 1400 Average Math/Verbal, always has to have a few lower outliers .
7. TBD-I have only looked passively so far, I will have some more ideas soon.
