Honestly, I don’t know how to start this post. I’ve always been a good student (4.0UW/4.78W/1580SAT), with several APs and national-level ECs. I also go to a highly competitive magnet school, which regularly sends people to T10s and HYPSM.
In HS, I always had the expectation to well, the drive to well, and the ambition to outclass everybody. IK it’s a toxic trait, but it’s me.

I have gotten into a somewhat decent school, JHU as well as UCLA. However, neither of these schools are the schools I see myself to be part of: I’ve just not really been all to excited about them tbh.
