Congrats on finishing your freshman year! From a senior, here are a few things to keep in mind:

-If it’s anything like my school, your freshman year GPA is 1/3 of the GPA that will go to colleges. Meaning sophomore year AND junior year still has to factor in. Plenty of time to continue your hard work and meet your goals.

ECs are great. But remember, colleges like to see the passion in your ECs. Don’t think you need to do everything. Pick a few activities and go deep within those. By doing this, it will clearly depict your passions. And only do things you enjoy, life is too short to stick something through for the heck of it.

Don’t stress about your college list too much now. Really take this time to focus on academics, expanding within your passions, and discover yourself as a learner.

Happy summer! Keep up the good work
