<p>I'm still a freshmen in high school, going to one of the best schools in state. I feel like I've ruined ALL of my chances of getting into an Ivy because:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I'm getting my first B's (ADVANCED Honors Biology, block schedule, so there's two bio classes because they want us to have biology and math everyday for freshmen in this magnet program), and the overacheivers in my class with supportive parents are getting A's. </p></li>
<li><p>I haven't been involved with any "strong" ECs or any ECs at all, but planning to try out for sports teams and getting involved in clubs and such next year, as well as volunteer work.. but I have been in a club for awhile but haven't been attending meetings..</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Some background info.:
Ethnicity : Asian (oh great... more competition woohooo)
Low income family, taken care of a single mother, no child support given by dad. </p>
<p>Sibling goes to Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Now did I really ruin my chances to getting into an Ivy school?
and what should I do in the forthcoming years to at least have a bit of a chance to get in ? ??</p>
<p>also my class rank was 66/791 when i got my first transcript.... yeah I'm in the top 10% but I heard you need to be at the top 1%.. :(</p>
