<p>I don't know why, procrastination seems almost second nature to me now. I loathe myself for this, and my grades. I have one semester left to change, but I always feel like giving up, its just so easy and stress-free. I recently earned horrible grades, BBBC, both semesters. I know that if I don't get into my dream school, I will cry and go into severe depression. I am diagnosed with depression, slightly affecting my schoolwork. I think about horrible things, I almost don't know myself anymore. Grades are all I got..no ec's no nothing.
Do I have a chance at Cornell? Or should I give up? Please be honest.</p>
<p>ive heard that cornell likes to pad their stats with high test scorers. if your test scores are excellent, then maybe you have a chance.</p>
<p>sorry, you can't get into an ivy, albeit the lowest ivy, with "no ec's no nothing" [sic].</p>
<p>Milkmagn, I will join as many clubs as I can in my Junior year, possibly sport teams.</p>
<p>You'll make it though regardless. If you're doubting yourself or feeling upset at anytime, there are plenty of people who are there. Just remember that the next time you're feeling anxious or depressed. People like Milkmgn are not being helpful in this instance.... But really, if you're doubting yourself, maybe try one of those toll-free teen hotlines? Forums with cynics don't always help.</p>
<p>dude i used to think that if i didnt get into Stanford, i would be a failure at life. But now that I am smart enough to think for myself and break free of the garbage my parents hauled at me, I am going to a state school and having a good time.</p>
<p>the people you are competing with for a spot at Cornell are not moping and feeling sorry for themselves right now, they're working their butts off</p>
