<p>If you’re “bound for the Ivies”, then you cannot allow your school to limit your progress. You should look to go above and beyond.</p>
<p>This does not have to be through AP work, but I’m sure it brings you that much closer, given you are doing what you love :)</p>
<p>Anyone who aspires and acts is that much closer to his/her goal. Don’t just think; do it 
You have to make this experience your own unique journey. You should look back and be “it wasn’t perfect, but I did what I could and I’m proud of myself for it”</p>
