Answer 1 :
Just keep up good grades, when you apply, write a good essay, and just do extracurricular activity.
Answer 2 :
Yes you have a shot. However I do encourage you ot look a bit further than the two you mentioned. Cal-tech and MIT would also be possible. However IMHO your best choice is Harvey Mudd due to the incredible number of people they send to graduate school - that's where the action really is: http://www.hmc.edu/ An excellent backup would be Rose Hullman. They are just a smidgen below the schools you mention and a good deal easier to get into. In fact many people who cant get into MIT choose it (it also helps that they evidently get a list of them): http://www.rose-hulman.edu/ Regardless of which school you go to I see an excellent future for you. Thanks Bill
Answer 3 :
I go to Georgia Tech and I believe that there actually aren't any SAT or GPA requirements written in stone. Obviously you have to have good scores though to get in though... I can also tell you from what I've seen that the out of state expectations are very high compared to those for in state students. Most out of state students I know are brilliant. Your GPA seems quite a bit below average compared to most students coming in to Tech but you scored really well on your SAT. Taking AP classes is a plus, but how many do you pass? Tech looks at how well you scored on them (They'll only accept 5's for most AP exams with the exception of a couple of classes which only require a 4). The extracurriculars are a plus also. I would just keep it up and also have an idea regarding what you want to major in by the time you're ready to apply (i.e. Tech looks for engineers) and put some thought into writing your essays. The same applies to any good school that you're looking at.

Answer 1 :
No, you need to register for classes at orientation, and chances are good they can't sign you up for classes at a different campus.

Answer 1 :
All at once...impossible. First of all...................what job can you envision that will require utilization of all of those. 1. Literature - you can learn to appreciate literature on your own, unless you plan on becoming a literary critic or an English teacher/professor. 2. Astronomy is usually a specialization within physics 3. Biology is a VERY broad subject 4. Oceanography is a specialization within Geography Universities have a mandate to educate people for the work force in the skills that are required (creativity, critical thinking). So finding a school that has the flexibility to allow one to do a major within 4 distinct disciplines will be inpossible M advice....................do a double major in physics and biology with your biology emphasis on marine biology (that will get you some ocean exposure).
