So i am starting to get a little bit worried. I am just a sophomore but looking around on this website makes me very nervous for next summer when I will start applying to schools. I know my Gpa isn’t crazy or anything its a 93ish unweighted including gym and fluffy classes but I am taking all honors and ap, but i feel like this wont get me anywhere. After seeing some kids who are saying they have 99 unweighted gpas all ap since 5th grade they wrote a research paper on curing cancer and work for NASA (im exaggerating) it makes me wonder if I will go anywhere that i want (Notre Dame, UPenn, USC, Dartmouth…). I feel like I have alright ECs (10 years of karate 3rd degree black belt, Viola area all state multiple times and MUN chair, treasurer Rowed in a boat in the national scholastic championchips) Does anyone have any REAL life experience that either points to the fact that I am right and that I have little to no chance of getting in to these caliber of schools or that maybe getting into some of these schools isnt as ridiculously hard as some people on this website say?
thanks a ton everyone,
ryan
P.S. I hope I put this in the right section
