I'm a Junior and my GPA is still undetermined because I have about 3 semesters left.

My current GPA (freshman & sophomore) is: 3.67
I'm in the International Baccularate Program
In Model UN, Key Club and National Honors Society
Lots of Volunteer hours
I'm on Varsity Raquetball
Did Basketball & Softball in freshman and sophomore year
I got my PSAT scores back and I am basically stupid.
My selection Index is 132 with a Percentile of 39.

I don't understand how I can have a low PSAT score and have an above average GPA.

If I do poorly on the SAT, can I still get into UW with all my other achievements?

I set up an appointment for a personal interview on Thursday for Saturday. On Friday I heard about winter storm possiblities on Saturday and called the lady to reschedule.

My family says this was a bad decision and the lady probably thinks poorly of me for rescheduling, as it shows wavering and uncertainty. My sister says I should give up my Harvard hopes.

Additional info: I am ranked 2 out of my class, I am a badminton champion, award-winning poet, professional artist (some people have bought my paintings), AP Scholar, Maryland Distinguished Scholar, participant in the Irvine Nature Center Summer Fellowship, and my SAT score is 2200.

I am a 27 year old male. I have been working full time for a nonprofit making $33k a year. I am also half way to getting my bachelors. During the past couple of years I have been going part time to school which has worked out ok. I am getting to the point now where it is becoming more and more difficult to get classes that work with my schedule. So I am considering quitting my job at the end of this year so I can give my all to finishing school. Financially, I have $30k in savings, my billls are very low. . I also make a few hundred bucks a month selling on ebay on the side which pays my bills and allows me to not use any of my savings, I don't pay rent cause I do snow removal and grass cutting for my building. My job would not allow me to go to part time. I am a very smart person but in the past have made some bad choices when it comes to school work etc. I am going for a degree in finance & accounting. What should I do?

I am a junior who aspires to go to a top business college such as Penn, Virginia, etc. I have taken AP World, US, and Physics B. How many AP Classes should I take in order to have the greatest chance of getting into a school like Penn. I am thinking about some combination of AP Physics C, AP Calc AB or BC, AP Economics, AP Euro, and AP Psychology. Which of these will look the best in the eyes of admissions officers, and how many should I take? Also, there is a class Advanced Marketing which seems like a good business class to prepare but it is not a rigorous AP course, and I would probably have to cut out an AP to take it. Should I take the class? Thanks for your help.

I'm at Assumption College and I'm not a fan of the direction the school is going in. I'm a freshman. And I've also noticed the school is lacking in many areas. An auditorium is one. And I know it's a Catholic school, but it's becoming oppressively religious. The administration banned an Iraqi war veteran who was supposed to speak at the school on Veteran's Day (and was scheduled to speak last year) because he's gay.

Anyway, I'm thinking of:
merrimack college
suffolk university
holy cross
stonehill college
umass lowell

I am looking at a Cal State University and a professional school. Cal State is cheaper, I can get financial aide, and it is pretty well known in the area where i will be job searching. The professional school will allow me to graduate sooner and it would be easier for me to work while i attended classes but i will have to take out a big loan. I researched the professional school but i do not know how prestigious (if at all) it is for its school psychology program. I want to get a job as soon as i get my degree and pps credentials. I am worried that since i will be looking for a job in the field of education then where i get my degree may matter. Please help!!!

I'm just curious... kind of feeling a bit insecure about how long it's taking me, I guess.

So... I'm curious about how long it's taken other people to obtain their Bachelor's degree, and why (and what the Bachelor's degree was in)...

Thanks for your info & help! ^^
