<p>Okay, I get down on myself when I see how many AP classes some people take, perfect SAT and ACT scores, amazing extra-curriculars, awards, honors, etc.
Is anyone else in the same boat as me?
I worry about my grades now.. I'm scared I won't get into a good college.
Don't get me wrong, I have a good GPA, I have some leadership roles, and I am taking rigorous classes, but some people are overly ardent about college admission and it drives me insaneeeee.
What are your credentials? Positives & negatives you have applying to college.</p>
<p>Not me. I get a lot of Extra-Curriculars, Varsity, and community Services including OPT. GPA and test scores sucks.</p>
<p>I got all are Nevatives. THey kept on telling me it’s my GPA. THat’s my ownly problem.
I’ll give you tips, Write a good essay and if there is an interview, go for it. Ask for recommendation even it’s not included. Depends on the Universities. One of my friend, she got 2.0 GPA but she got in the Brown University because of her essay. Good luck</p>
<p>Holy ****. She got into BROWN with a 2.0?!?!
Even with writing an amazing essay, that is unbelievable… What were her SAT/ACT scores??</p>
<p>^^ Uh, no. Brown’s Common Data Set doesn’t show GPAs but it does show that 100% of accepted students are in the top half of their graduating class. <a href=“Office of Institutional Research | Brown University”>Office of Institutional Research | Brown University; There is no way a 2.0 isn’t in the bottom half of their class, at any school.</p>

<p>lol…■■■■■ much?</p>
<p>OP, the only person you have control over is you. Get your stats to wherever you want them to be, but you can’t change the grades you already have. So what? That doesn’t impact your ability to get stellar SATs or make a difference in your ECs.</p>
<p>OP, CC is in no way representative of the general US HS population. The people here are quite self-selective and are usually the cream of the crop. Plenty of people with far less impressive credentials than the superstars on CC receive acceptances from top colleges every year. Use CC as a valuable resource to help and guide you during the college admissions process but don’t use it to as a standard to judge yourself with.</p>
