Viable applicants to the country’s most selective schools have outstanding GPAs in very rigorous courses. Are you on track to take the toughest courses offered by your HS? And will you get mostly As in them? Seemingly not? Regardless, you should drop this quest for “Ivy League” school and instead, focus on maximizing your academic potential.
The topmost scholars in your HS: are you like them? Why or why not? Has your school successfully had Ivy-type admits? What did they look like? In conversations about the top group of students in the soph class, is your name included?
Is the 3.7GPA a clear indication of your ability? If so, that’s fine. Nothing wrong with that. But if it’s your being lazy w/p-sets, homework, studying for exams – then you have some maturing to do. Ask yourself: do you LIKE to learn new things? In your Junior and Senior years, you’ll take your most rigorous courses. Your plan to get all As in them ready? And you can’t neglect prepping for ACT/SAT as well.
Your academic achievement will dictate the sorts of colleges you eventually should target. But at this point, know that chasing the “ivy” title isn’t beneficial for you at all. I recruit for an Ivy: I tell audiences that if they’re among the topmost students in the recent history of their respective high schools, they might be a viable applicant.
