<p>I've always been a good student, but this year (10th grade) my grades have all been in the B's. I started suffering from severe depression in 9th grade and I haven't felt like getting my grades back up. I'm aiming for second-tier schools, and I'm okay with that.</p>
<p>I go to a private high school. I don't have any extracurriculars. I don't play any sports. I don't have any hobbies or interests or an idea of a major.</p>
<p>I haven't taken the SAT yet, but I'll probably get a high score because I've always done well on standardized tests. I won't go to an SAT prep class.</p>
<p>I need to get a scholarship to go to college. I'm not even considering the Ivy League. My parents don't want to pay for all of my college tuition because they have to pay for two at once (I'm a twin) and probably medical school for my older sibling, and they've already paid for three high school tuitions, two middle school tuitions, and one college tuition. I'm okay with having to pay mostly my own way through college. </p>
<p>Some people tell me that I won't be able to get a scholarship easily, for a lot of reasons I'm not an underrepresented minority (I'm an overrepresented minority), I don't have stellar grades, I don't have activities or play sports well, and my father makes too much money. He does make a lot of money, but my parents constantly tell me that we don't have any money in the bank. They have a pretty high standard of living and don't want to change that, and I'm not asking them to because I've already disappointed them in school. They've already given up on my getting into an Ivy League like my older sibling. They just renovated the house and have parties and are starting to indulge themselves, which they never did while my older sister still lived with us. They pamper her and paid all her college but I'm okay they don't do the same with me (she fulfilled all their hopes for their child).</p>
<p>How do I go about this? How should I deal with high school?</p>
