College is gonna come soon. I am in 10th grade. The pressure of college on me is bad. I am always wondering how i am gonna pay for it... and what college to go to. Is this normal?
Whats my likelihood of getting into a good college?
My grades are high.
i have a 3.8 gpa
i was in 9 grade math in 8th grade. and 10th grade math in 9th and going into calculus for 10th
I took earth science early because of advanced placement.
I do track and cross country
Instead of choosing four elective classes, i chose to take japanese and spanish, (including a french as an accademic) and Business and a law course.
good?

kinda, though i have to be honest, it seems you are a little scatterbrained. i mean, colleges (especially good ones) want to see dedication in what you do. for example, if you had taken 1 language all 4-5 years of middle school and high school, and took more AP's, i think you would be a better candidate. but a 3.8 is pretty good, keep it up.

It sounds like you are off to a good start (and I envy your ability to speak several languages already). Your math level is wonderful, and it sounds like you are planning to take AP classes, which will bring your GPA up. A few years ago, I would have told you that you were a little neurotic to be worrying so much about college already at your age, but unfortunately, this is happening more and more these days. It ruins a lot of people's experience of high school. Try to relax a little and look forward to college, rather than panicking about it. If you continue as you have been, it should all work out well (and you will manage to pay for it, even if that means taking out loans which you have to pay back later on).

Just try not to expect to much on your freshman year. All you have to do is concentrate first on academics and forget about the other things. By this way it will lessen the pressure during your adjustment period. Just study, extra curricular actives maybe at your sophomore year. Also lighten first your academic load by not adding a lot of electives that isn't required by your curriculum.
