ECs favoured over Stats?

You’re a rising sophomore and you’ve already given up on your GPA and SATs??? :eek: No, that’s not right! You’ve only done one year of high school, and it’s the year whose GPA many colleges disregard when reviewing your transcript! And 9th grade is too early to take SATs at all.

Don’t be a fool. Try to get good grades. Get tutoring if you need it. Study more. Talk to your counselor about it. Whatever. Do anything but give up! And study up for the SATs and take them when you’re in 11th grade. That’s when you’re supposed to take them.

And no, I doubt that any university favors ECs over academics. That’s just not the point of going to a university; it’s an academic institution.

However, no matter how crappy you are academically, there is a college out there for you. Uh… you don’t want to go to that college. So take my advice and pick yourself up from the freshman year slump. You can do it.
