OK so the first semester is coming to a close and I just found out that I’m probably going to have 3 Bs as final averages this year. In all honesty I got some depressing news from my doctor that kind of killed my motivation. In addition, my middle school had a different spanish track than the sending districts of my high school which motivated me to appeal to the honors class so I can catch up with other students (this was very difficult for me). My top choices are Harvard and MIT.
My grades freshman year were:
honors math analysis - A
Honors physics- A
English 9 (no honors offered)- A-
World history (no honors offered)- A
Cp Spanish 2- A
Gym- A- (idk why)
Business- A
Freshman required elective- A
My projected averages this year…
Honors precalc analysis (first semester precalc second semester we get as far into Calc as we can)- A
Honors english- A
Honors US1 - B
AP Chemistry -B
Honors Spanish 3 - B
Gym- A
Engineering - A+
Photography- A
I know, it’s bad but while evaluating my situation, please take a look at my schedule for junior and senior year as well as my extra curriculars. I feel that I’ll do a lot better in the following years because I am overcoming my depression.

AP biology

Honors English
Honors Spanish 4
Cad 2

Senior:

Math Club (9-12)
Local math team (JV 9th grade, Varsity 10-12)
Science league (9th, missed the tryouts this year because of a conflict, 11th-12th)
In addition, I am pretty sure I’m going to qualify for usajmo this year (or at least VERY close so usamo next year) and make usnco nationals (I’ve been studying like hell over the break)
Thanks and I hope for your honest opinion on whether or not I can still make it to Harvard or MIT.
