My honest opinion is that it is patently ridiculous for a “rising junior” to predict straight A+ grades for the next two years and also to expect to be editor of the school newspaper for 4 years in a row and captain of the math team for 3.*

Well I say LOL for a slightly different reason. Depending on the school and how grades are awarded, it may be possible. But if it’s that easy to predict, the grades should mean less anyway - most tough schools challenge the brightest students so it’s not that easy to get A+'s across the board. Apparently this is a not so great school, self-reported, so why would reporting a million A+'s help predict one’s chances?
