I won’t repeat comments above about how selective colleges are today. This is not a process you can anticipate by plugging numbers into a spreadsheet and calculating a result. think of it this way - highly selective colleges will reject many, many students whose grades and scores put them in the top one or two percent of their peers, so it is not a question of whether you are in the top 12.8 percent. My advice: think of college as a beginning, not an end. Use your intelligence and work ethic to be successful at the next level, and i’m not just talking about getting good grades. Work hard. maybe get a part-time job to earn some $ and have something entirely non-academic where you start to learn how people operate in real working situations, which is ultimately where you will find yourself after college. Find other things you enjoy doing outside of studying. Get involved in extracurricular activities that you really enjoy - college is a great place to try new things and figure out what you might like to do, regardless of whether you have planned out the next ten years of your life or not. above all, get out there and meet people, build friendships that make the experience great. i spent years interviewing candidates for spots at a law firm - a very large, top 100, high-paying place. well over 1000 applications annually, vying for ten or twelve summer jobs that might lead to full-time employment. Some of the best lawyers I met and helped hire went to law schools that weren’t in the top thirty. I say ‘best lawyers’ because they turned out to be much better at practicing law than peers who went to top thirty (even top 10) law schools. (and PS, after years in that environment, which was fun and lucrative but a pretty ruthless meatgrinder of an environment at times, I chose a smaller place and a lower-paying situation, and I’m very happy with that). Best of luck with the rest of the process.
