I’m currently a Junior in high school and I often suffer from anxiety and stress at the thought of not being good enough. I know all that matters (or somewhat) is that I try my my best, but I can’t help but always feel that I’m not good enough…?

I hope to volunteer at an animal shelter or shadow at a vet or hospital over the summer. It’s likely that I’ll have another leadership position in Music Honor Society and Science Honor Society by Senior Year, but nothing is confirmed yet! I will likely be a biochemistry major (pre-med) in college.
I know that my EC and SAT score are pretty weak and I don’t have much leadership positions… I’m having a lot of regrets over how I could have done so much more over my high school career than what I actually did Do I have a chance at getting into some good colleges (preferably Duke or Cornell…?) even though I’m not really perfect with my standings?
