Hi, I’m currently a junior (soon to be senior in about two weeks) and I am freaking out. I haven’t really done much in terms of extra curricular activities throughout my high school career, or ANY activities, for that matter. I was in a medical program at my school for about two years, but I dropped that, and the only classes outside of core classes I’ve taken is a foreign language class for three years now. I have a pretty good GPA so far (about 3.9 unweighted) and I’ve taken some AP courses (US History, chemistry, language & comp, and I plan on doing at least three or four more by the time senior year comes). I took the SATs in February, and I got about a 1970 on it (and, hopefully, I’ll be able to raise it past 2000 by the time college applications need to be turned in). but I know that colleges want to see more.
I’m planning on volunteering/doing something this upcoming summer, but I know that colleges like to see commitment. I’m not interested in clubs at my school, and I feel like it’s already too late to partake in any. I’m not aiming for like the top five colleges in the nation, but I would have liked to go somewhere at least in the top fifties maybe? Like UW or something?
Do I have a chance here, or am I just screwed?
I’ll definitely do SOMETHING for sure this summer, haha!
