<p>So what do you think about my standing? what do I need to do?</p>
<p>lol, considering the fact that u haven’t even entered college yet, we can’t really tell u if ur in a good standing or not. If you want to know if ur taking the right classes to fulfill ur major/pre requirements, it’s probably best for u to ask ur college advisor or check assist.org (assuming ur applying to the UCs). Just relax and enjoy your last high school summer.</p>
<p>Are you certain you want to take 3 classes over the summer? They will be fast paced and if you wobble at all the first week or so of class, you may not be able to catch up again. Have you looked at the textbooks, seen the sylabus, checked out ratemyprofessors (dot com) to make sure this is going to work for you? </p>
<p>I guess I tend to go on the cautious side for 1st semester of college - some people transition without a glitch, others are not ready for the pace. It is not necessarily something that can be 100% predictable… are all 3 summer classes at the same time or staggered? </p>
<p>In other words, in a fast paced summer course, there is little to no time to avert a disaster if a class doesn’t end up sitting well with a student. With this in mind, I generically question whether your choice is the best one (I can’t know!). </p>
<p>You seem very focused on your standing and if you are ahead of the crowd… I would advise you to take a modest approach your first semester (starting with this summer) and just do a very solid job on an average load of classes… and then build your “college resume” from there. Leave some room for ECs in college - not just for your transfering info, but because college is also about making friends and being part of a learning community.</p>
<p>If you are hoping to transfer to a competitive college, they will be looking for a type of maturity that has a lot more to do with how you engage with the college experience as a whole vs. an “am I ahead of the crowd” mentality. Be active, challenge yourself, but doso in a realistic way AND make the time for 1 or 2 extra curriculars that you feel passionate about. Allow some time that first semester to perhaps try a club that may or may not be the one you focus on the other semesters. If you chart out your path too rigidly, there is no time to “fall into” something that might be an even better path. I am going to be Editor in Chief of my college’s literary magazine next fall, something I did <em>not</em> plan and something that came about more from a leadership in an earlier club I tried. Be open to these kinds of happenings, because they will likely yield much better results for you in the long run!</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Good standing usually means that you’ve taken at least the minimum number of per-semester required credits, met any immediate academic requirements that might exist, and have a GPA that does not put you on academic probation. Since you’ve yet to matriculate, it is impossible for you to either be in good or bad standing.</p>
