<p>Don’t be so sure that the competition will not affect you. </p>
<p>I got a 1540 on my SAT. I got a 5 on AP Bio, Chem, Physics etc etc etc. I got into Chicago, Northwestern etc. </p>
<p>I didn’t think the competition would affect me. It did and it will probably affect you too. </p>
<p>Now, that doesn’t mean you can’t handle it. But it does mean it will probably make you miserable at times. It will be worse if you come in overconfident like i did and everyone else I know like this did.</p>
<p>Just some friendly advice.</p>
