Is there any hope for me at all?

Brooke, I’m saying this in the nicest way possible since I was in your shoes a few years ago, stressing about your grades and posting chance threads on CC will do nothing and, as I’ve learned, is counterproductive. Just focus on school and enjoy it while it lasts. You can get into Princeton with or without straight A’s. It’s also not helpful for you to post projected stats and grades since you don’t know if you’ll even get those scores next year. On the other hand, you might surprise yourself in the end by how much you didn’t previously think you could accomplish. Your perspectives will change especially once you’re a junior. You might end up finding a new passion for that random club you never got into in ninth grade or be inspired by an amazing teacher (or turned off by a terrible one) I’m saying this because this happened to me. Just study, work hard, set goals, prioritize, and truly DO WHAT YOU LOVE THE BEST YOU POSSIBLY CAN. This is literally the best (and really the only advice) that can be given to you at this point in your high school career
