Things I’m worried about
- I got a C in Honors Chemistry sophomore year and it kind of sticks out like a sore thumb on my transcript.
- Second semester junior year was kind of a mess. I usually end up with a 3.7 every semester in some shape or form, but I ended up with 3 B’s and the rest A’s, which lowered my GPA.
- I take honors / AP courses in everything but math. I’ve taken regular level math classes since freshman year to make my schedule less rigorous.
- I’m behind the curve on volunteering.
- Possibly low test scores?
my main focus is getting into oberlin so i’m a bit scared! gklfskdgjdgj i’m stressing a lot and everyone on this website is so smart, like how do y’all do that
