<p>I just got my SAT scores (first time) back today, and I am utterly disappointed. Got a 2160 - 690CR 800M 670W (69MC/8E). </p>
<p>My future seems hopeless right now. I just don't feel like working and am doing badly in everything. I messed up my PSAT (205), didn't make AIME, probably not gonna make Physics Olympiad semifinals, and now have this very disappointing SAT score. I am also doing very badly in school compared to how I used to do. I have no real extracurriculars that would make me stand out; I do have several interests/hobbies but have not received any particularly significant rewards for them. </p>
<p>My only strong area was my GPA, which was relatively high considering the fact that I have the most rigorous curriculum in my school, a top private school that sends 40-50% of its kids to top 20 colleges in the US every year. However, my GPA is probably gonna go down significantly this semester due to my miserable scores on recent tests/quizzes (down about 0.33 on average this semester). </p>
<p>I am slacking off more and more everyday and am just not motivated anymore. What should I do? Because I am Asian, going to a good college means that I will please my parents, earn honor and respect in our friend circle, and get a good job in the future. Right now, I feel like my future is dark and hopeless. I have already kind of given up. </p>
<p>Oh btw I have only been in the US for 4 years, and I learned most of my English here.</p>
