I think one of the reasons why I would want to go to Ivy is because of the opportunities it can bring up if I attend to one of the Ivy colleges, and the alumni network is very successful (especially Stanford, according to Bloomberg Business). I don’t think I personally can afford to get into an Ivy, but I may qualify for an aid?
I definitely will go reach out to my guidance counselor at my high school and will definitely start to work on a realistic list of schools. I will also try to research as much on myself to see what college is right for me.
My grades on the other hand, I will definitely be focusing on that more than any of my hobbies for sure, for the story on why I wasn’t achieving my full potential is probably because I was bored with school and/or was in the process of moving between different states, which probably isn’t a very good story. For the tests, I will try my best to study beforehand and get down the strategies of most tests (especially the ACT and SAT if possible). I honestly really think that Ivy is right for me, but I’m not on the right ground to start off with, so I will be placing school as my priority.
Thank you for the advice! I will definitely keep you updated just because I need someone to reach out to for advice when my counselor or anyone of that figure is not reachable…
