Ok I'm a sophomore and am ranked 18 out of 179. My cumulative gpa is 4.34. I have all honors and AP classes. On my report card I got a C in honors algebra 2 because my teacher sucks. I got a B- in AP world history and honors chemistry. I got an A in everything else,which is theology, honors Latin 2, web video design, and honors English 2. I am getting a tutor for both chemistry and algebra. What can I do to raise my rank/gpa? Is where Im at good? Do colored like where I am right now? I live in Illinois and want to go to a college in Illinois. I'm thinking the university of Illinois at Urbana chamaign or uic. What do you think? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Also I am on the tennis team, cbn team/club, play the trumpet, do Taekwondo, and am a boy scout. I am also a male mexican if that makes a difference.
