Well, though I am a conscientious student, my gardes aren't where they should be. I had a 93 average in freshman year and only an 87 average this past sophomore year. I will try to aim higher next year and get a 98 average. I got a 3 on my ap world history exam. scored an 85 percentile on the PSAT ( Ill do better next year!). Im the leader of my school band, have worked in a printing company and a dentist's office. National Honor Society. Arista, was in the Borough wide band, National Vocabulary Championship participant, volunteered at a hospital and senior citizen center.
Im hoping to get into Stanford, which is my dream school, and I know its aiming pretty high considering my terrible grades and minimal extra curricular activities. whats the best college do you think I can get into if I improve in junior year. is it too late?! ohmy. and what can I do to up my chances at getting into a prestigious college? thank you!

WWoooooaaaaahhhh. decelerate there! i latterly executed the school technique, and contained in the fall am heading as a Freshman to a prestigious and large college that i like. i'm so exited. i will supply you commonplace college propose, yet in all honesty, i don't think of it is your project. think of approximately it? what's the factor of school? To excel and specialise in some thing you have an interest in or captivated with. It sounds such as you're thinking of school... and your existence... as only thank you to validate how smart you're. Strait up inelegance does not get you everywhere. It additionally does not make you chuffed. You sound like me... as in which you desire to hire your existence and luxuriate in your self. intense college will help with this plenty. i might connect as many golf equipment and companies as you could, try them out, discover out what pastimes you. stay a sprint. Make blunders. try some drugs. connect a activities group in basic terms for relaxing. connect a cooking type. Or a band. Hm.. it fairly is previous due and that i've got not something to do. i assume i will shop on rambling... for some years I had no clue what i needed to dedicate my existence to. I felt very lost, unhappy, and as though I had no direction. in spite of the fact that, over the final 2 years I unquestionably are turning out to be to be fairly attracted to Environmental themes and environmental sustainability. I unquestionably have labored with the city council, been featured contained in the community newspaper, grow to be president of the school Eco club, labored for Greenpeace ecc. ecc. ecc. this form of committed interest isn't in basic terms what is going to make you a effective applicant, yet in addition a effective, chuffed, and concentrated individual. yet it is purely me. There are 1000's of issues you could grow to be attracted to. stable success!

Good Luck getting into Stanford. Only 9% of the students who apply get in. You have to have Chelsea Clinton or Tiger Wood's caliber to get into Stanford.

yeah, that was my goal too (not stanford though, i wanted to go to art school)
it's not getting in thats the hard part, it's paying for it. i got a least partial scholarships to every school i applied to, but out of state tuition is a *****!
besides, its not very important which school you go for for your undergrad, but grad school is really important.
if you plan on going to grad school, i'd just go to an in-state college, it won't make a difference in the long run, i swear.
