Yes, colleges care about testing your mettle, but don’t stretch yourself too thin. Take courses you know you will likely do well in if you put your mind to it. Don’t try to be a heroine and over extend yourself. Develop your leadership in your community and get to know a couple teachers well - and quickly. Pace yourself. If you don’t get in ED I or II or EA, it will be a marathon year to the finish. Surround yourself with good friends and family and talk things out with anyone who will listen. Make sure you come up with a balanced list of likelies, reach and safeties. Good Luck @emmaolsen29.
