<p>Help! Idk if its realistic for me at this point to consider for these two universities I badly have wanted to go to. </p>
<p>I have a 4.95 GPA currently and by the end of the 11 Grade itll be 5.25. I am in tenth grade </p>
<p>My SAT is 2050 now, I think itll be 2100 or higher later </p>
<p>Out of School
1. I am the founder of a tech startup
2. I am a private stock investor and venture capitalist.
3. I have interned in many companies</p>
<p>In School
A. I am in BPA (Business professionals america)
B. I am in DECA
C. KIVA (microbanking)
D. Stock Investing
E. Coppell Geographic Society (believe me its not as lame as it sounds)
F. Film
G. Debate</p>
<p>Leadership
-About 3 leadership position in my clubs
-Founder and CEO of my company
- In the process of becoming Co-founder and CEO of a non-profit that's almost ready to start</p>
<p>By the End of High School I will have taken either 14 AP's or 2 AP's and IB</p>
<p>I am also good with generally public speaking and persuasion.</p>
<p>Now heres the thing. I am kind of struggling at this point to be motivated because I can hardly tell if I stand a chance. My grades in freshmen year ruined everything for me just about. While most of my friends were getting 95's average and doing great in tests, I was struggling like heck. No matter how much I would try, no matter how long is study I just end up getting bad grades (B's and C). Now I am kinda getting better, I got 3 A's and 3 B's and C in spanish (frigging hate spanish). The problem is that studying is just to hard for me. </p>
<p>But here is the other part. Other things that are not studying naturally click in to me. I am very good at leading people and public speaking. I am intelligent in things I am motivated about. I even started my own comapny which was originially a tech startup but now with all the investments I have made I am turning it into a conglomerate. I want to become a hedge fund manager. I also invest in stocks and do alot of things with my life. By the end of this month I will have started two organizations, a blog, a website. IN my school I am very active in the EC life. The things I have mentioned above are incredibly fun and finance related. I am very creative, intelligent in the things I am motivated about, and very passionate about what I want to do and become. </p>
<p>.................So i need help</p>
<p>Obviously I need to study better. The issue is I just cant. The things at school just cannot motivate me except for the subjects I like (Math, History, Debate,). Take for example spanish. I have a spanish quiz tommrow, and I just cannot get my self to study it. I know I should and I want to. But I just cant. Instead I am typing this (thank you for reading btw). Can any of yall help me learn to actually study effectively. I get distracted easily, I get frustrated, and all this stuff doesnt make sense. Thank god I am good with sweet talking otherwise idk if I would have had anythign about a B- last year. And the discouragement with how bad I had done last year isnt helping. Now If I truly like what I am studying then I have no problem with it. I taught my self at age 11 how the stock market works, how to invest, how to run a company, all that fun stuff. At age 13 I was well into stocks and was learnign much more complex things about hedge funds. Believe me that it is not easy. </p>
<p>What I am asking is for you to help me study. How can I study better when I am just plain stupid in this type of stuff? </p>
<p>And is it realistic at this point for me to aim for UT Austin (I live in Tx,) or for NYU? </p>
