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.

Contrary to what many believe, most firms in most industries are hiring. Strong candidates need to research and network in order to select the best opportunity from multiple job offers.

Planning on boosting your income this holiday season by grabbing a temporary job in retail? Take a number. Retail employers, who usually boost their workforce ahead of the year-end shopping frenzy, have suffered dismal sales this year and are gearing up for a rough holiday season. With staffing levels already down, there will likely be a noticeable decline in openings for seasonal workers.
