Hi, okay so I’m a sophomore, but I’m planning on graduating early (if anyone has any advice about this please let me know) and so I’m going to have to start thinking about applications really soon. I’ve already found a bunch of places I like, but my main problem is that I haven’t really won as many awards accolades etc this year as last year, and I’m worried it will make my transcript seem odd, like something happened. Last year I won a lot of medals etc for various competitions, and this year I spent more time joining clubs and being involved in programs and volunteering, and while I did participate in some competitions they didn’t go well/I ended up having to cancel or they conflicted with each other etc. I also changed my mind about what I wanted to major in, which also meant I stopped doing some competitions that I won things in last year, and basically I’m wondering if colleges will shy away from me if it looks like something happened this year/I’ve become less motivated? The year isn’t over yet, and admittedly I have been struggling with some personal issues this year that have affected my extracurricular participation, and I do have A grades and take AP classes so I’m still an okay student according to my transcript, but do you think it will hurt my chances a lot? Especially since I’m thinking about applying to colleges next year?
