I honestly think that you’re fine. As long as you work hard the next year and keep participating in your clubs and activities you’re good. I would say that especially the top schools often put an emphasis on having outstanding EC’s, although grades are still a major factor.

A 3.88 GPA will not ruin your chances at top schools. Students with perfect 4.0’s and near perfect test scores get rejected from top tier schools all the time. This just goes to show that admissions to the top schools are difficult for all that apply.

In terms of preparing for next year, maybe change up your study habits and try a few different things. Juggling advanced classes and a busy EC schedule can be difficult, but it’s not impossible. Keep working and good luck this upcoming year!
