<p>I am a senior at a Catholic High school outside of San Francisco. I've been super stressed about college, even though I submitted all of my apps a few months ago (didn't apply anywhere early). The reason I'm stressed is because my old GPA of 3.75 has now dropped to 3.71 because I got a 3.5 this semester. I tried my best, but I've really had a lot on my plate with applications and family issues, but I'm not sure colleges will understand that. I keep freaking out about it to my fellow classmates, but all they say is, "Don't worry--you'll get in!" I know the college process is very hard to predict, but I was wondering if anyone could give me HONEST input on the following colleges with my list of activities, SAT scores, classes I've taken, etc...</p>
<p>Activities:
Cross Country: 4 years, team captain, I got the coach's award
Camp Counselor: led hikes, guided educational activities
Immersion trip to El Salvador
National Charity League: Silver Award (250+ hours: working with elderly, poor); I have been secretary, publicity officer, president, and editor of our newspaper
Leadership in my school: Open House Ambassador, Shadow Host

Swimming: 3 years
