Other Info:
I really can't believe how well the whole process turned out for me right now, I mean, I'm going to an Ivy League school? Not only that, but like I'm going to the COOL Ivy League school? I'm doing pretty well in high school, but I never did anything spectacular and my SAT scores are average, but I think this just shows that like if you're a just normal, laid-back person you can still succeed in the college process. You don't have to have 2300 SATs or do all this stuff like be the Oboist in your state symphany, just try your best and enjoy high school. I think what helped me the most was that I didn't even find out about the college admissions process until this year, so I never did stuff just for my resume (and I never sent in a resume anyways haha). Anyways, best of luck to anyone who is about to go through what I just went through!! I got to get back to enjoying a whole semester of knowing I'm already into college and can slack off as much as I want!!
