<p>whoever said those weren’t stellar extracurriculars…</p>
<p>like, god, you’re not trying to go to harvard. people are ridiculous. it’s fine if people wanna say your grades aren’t good, but there’s no reason to point out the lack of some random thing like community volunteering when you clearly have fifteen billion other extracurriculars. people are ridiculous.</p>
<p>honestly, the F’s are gonna make you a stretch at a lot of schools. do you know what your actual GPA is? i don’t feel like calculating it myself. you might’ve had it posted on there, i don’t remember, sorry.</p>
<p>i’m gonna go with just study really hard and try to get your SAT up, cuz i’m sure you’re capable. make colleges realize how smart you are and that you regret every minute of not studying hard enough or not doing homework.
i’d mention something about your grades in your essays. dont ‘make excuses’ but dont pretend its not there and hide it either. they need to know you know youve made mistakes and that you are going to be more successful in college.</p>
