So m freshmen year I had a 3.88 GPA, I had one B+ but the rest A’s. I am currently a sophomore and I have a couple B’s but I hope to raise those. If I had 1 B this year, but the rest of my years I did really well and took hard courses could I get into schools like Harvard? Not to sound cocky but i am really smart but i dont try. My freshmen year i slacked off in class and barely did homework our studies but i was in honors but i managed to do well while my classmates who studied a lot struggled. I have always been able to learn quick and do well. I am strong when it comes to extra activities. I play basketball and soocer, i am in a student government program, I am in robotics, I am the VP of my class, I am in student council, I volunteer a good amount. Im learning programming languages right now and im working on publishing a game. My older brother goes to harvard because he an insanely good writer and he is wicked smart. Could i make it to Ivy Leagues and if not what colleges would seem reasonable for me.
Chill. The Ivy League (singular) schools are not the be all end all of colleges and universities. The schools in the Ivy League look at more than just your transcript. Please realize these schools have extremely low acceptance rates and even if you are qualified applicant, you have a higher chance of being rejected than accepted. No one can accurately tell you if you have a chance for any of these schools because admissions are “holistic”. Those who you think will get accepted don’t and those who you think won’t get accepted will. All anyone can tell you is that from here on out, try to do your best in school and stop slacking off. Also, it wouldn’t hurt to do well on standardized testing. You happen to be very lucky that they are revamping the SAT.
After you’ve taken the SAT and ACT at least once and have completed most of your junior year, come back and people would be more than willing to help you find reasonable schools. As of right now, there isn’t much to go on.
P.S. I’m sure your brother got accepted into Harvard by being more than “an insanely good writer” and being “wicked smart.”
“Wicked smart” is good, but admissions committees aren’t too hot on the “not trying” thing.
