<p>WeiWei, first thing first. Concentrate on your jr year. Do as well as you can to the best of your ability. Be nice and be good to your teachers – you’ll need two of them as recommenders. It’s almost no point to be obsessed with the top 20 schools. Keep them in mind, but don’t waist your energy day dreaming. My neighbor’s Harvard graduated kids… one is currently working at an animal shelter, the other teaching HS part time while figuring out what he wants to do. You’ll have time. Ivy or top schools are not the end all, be all. Good luck.</p>
