Your extracurricular activities are great, but you are interested in very competitive schools. Having toured a number of colleges with competitive admission in the past year, the colleges tell you they are really looking for As. They are looking for rigor and for you to do well in rigorous classes. Why do you think you are getting many Bs? Do you think you might be spreading yourself thin with all of your ECs? Did you not enjoy the subjects? Do you think a tutor would help? Our high school offers free peer tutoring or a number of students pay for private tutors. I know one senior was given a fee waiver to apply to Wash U and they rejected her. She is going to Barnard. Watch out for all of that marketing you will be receiving and don’t forget to apply to some safeties. Good luck.
