This year, I am in a new school with new clubs and sports...I am interested in Destination Imagination, Acadameic Team and Leadership Club, and I am planning to keep volunteering,especially at the hospital. I go to a religious school every Sunday for three hours, if it means something. Oh by the way, I will research with a brillant doctor who graduated from Harvard next summer.

I am interested in pre-med or biology

We can't make any reasonable predictions without knowing your scores. Typically the very bottom SAT scores for HPY are 1200. Only a handful of students get in with scores that low. They tend to be recruited athletes, students who have overcome remarkable challenges, and children of people who donate huge amounts of money.

What is the lowest SAT I and II score I should get to get in? I am still aiming for the high scores.

How can I improve? I am planning to keep getting high marks, do well on SAT I and SAT II, and be involved in ECs and community service as well. But, I feel like I am missing something. By the way, remember I mentioned that I would do research with a doctor next summer? I am thinking about going to RSI instead IF I get in. How will it affect my chance if I don't do research with a doctor?

Aim for SATs at least in the 1400's.

Okay, I am now a member of Chess Club. But I have a situation. I have all As in my classes but in my Honors Math Analysis-a B. I still have three weeks left, but I calculated that with extra credit and perfect test scores, I will still get a B. How will this affect my chance???
