Hey all, I’m an in-state senior, and I’m applying EA this year. I think I’m fine academically, but holistically I’m slightly worried about some things: dropping class band junior year, 2 random Latin classes, having to drop most of my extracurriculars for dual enrollment, getting much lower ACT scores on my second try, and not really having a focus throughout my high school career.
