<p>Did anyone here ever feel like they won't even stand a chance at being considered by these colleges? I have. It all started in my sophomore year of high school. I'm a senior now, and I'm still going through the same thing. The competition has become even more intense. I have no extracurriculars because my mom won't allow me. My grades are complete trash. I have a 2.33 UC GPA. I've only taken the SAT once, and my total score is just 1720 (570 reading, 610 math, 540 writing).</p>
<p>This frustrates the hell out of me.</p>
