Should I give up now? Or should I be optimistic? Thanks and much love :)

<p>So with the decisions coming through, we all need some self validation of whether our opinion of ourselves are true :slight_smile: I’m not conceited but I don’t wanna be too hard/easy on myself. Just honest. </p>

<p>Brown has been one of my top choices because my sister went to Brown. So I do have a legacy bump if that helps at all!! yay:)</p>

<p>Extracurricular Activities! (Yay…)</p>

<p>Boys & Girls Club.
I did this since 8th grade. Love it! I’ve volunteered atleast 300 or 400 hours. I’ve done the summer program where I mentor children. I got granted the award of “Youth Representative” and I was also the youngest member to be on the Board where I help with the political and economic decisions of the club. I’m also the Youth of the Year and will be going to a state competition soon! And the worst I can do is 4th because Montana has only 4 participating clubs lol I’m getting a scholarship to go to college which is soooo nice. Love this place and all the little rascals I watch over. I just sounded sooo cheesy. </p>

<p>Band- I’ve played saxophone for about 7 years now. I’ve made top band as a sophomore which is rare here and I’ve made All-State Band for three years. I was 5th and 2nd chair at All state Band. I’ve done countless concerts, solos, etc. Not much to say. </p>

<p>Soccer: Played since I was very little. Played competitive club team where we won numerous tournies. I played for the high school froshmore team as a freshman and was made captain and MVP of the team. JV for sophomore year. However, I was cut my junior year where soccer ends. But I write about this in my essay and how I change focuses in my life as difficult as it was. Really was. </p>

<p>Student Council:
Just a member. Liked it. Didn’t do much. Did this for 3 years now. </p>

<p>National Honors Society:
I did this my junior year and will be in it next year as a senior. At our school, one can only join as a junior where you apply to it and see if you make it!</p>

<p>Youth member:
Church youth member. Just religious. Some community service. </p>

<p>Spanish Club: Since I was a freshman. I am secretary of this club. We did salsa lessons…etc. Stereotypical Spanish club. </p>

<p>Amnesty Club: I joined this junior and will be in it senior year. I just did this because the club needed some diversity because it’s a international club. Theres like 10 asians at our school so I promised my friend to do it. It’s fun. </p>

<p>Robotics Club: Junior year and Senior year. I would have started earlier but this club was made this year (my junior year). I was stated the president of the First Robotics Club at our school! History. But we did good too! 3rd at regionals in St. Louis and we made it to nationals in Salt Lake! Nerds. Except I didn’t do much on the robot. I was the social face of the club. The club was filled with many nerds. I just helped out socially. Yay.</p>

<p>Internships: Sophomore summer I did a Biology internship where I did PCR, gel electrophorisis, etc under a researcher at our local college. This summer, I got asked to do a Physics lab where I learned about solid oxide fuel cells (Yay for alternative energy) and did many labs and calculations like stoichiometry in the real world and making super conductors etc. </p>

<p>Peer Tutoring: I don’t know if this counts. But hey why not? I peer tutored alot of kids in math because I’m good at math. Its my strongest field of academics except on that one ap test…sadly. </p>

<p>Korea: I worked in Seoul, Korea (I’m Korean) in a hospital to learn korean, but to volunteer and see health care in a different country/system of health care. This was over the summer. </p>

<p>Basically, can you give your honest and candid input! Thank you guys so much!!</p>

<p>I suggest you read the Urban Dictionary definition of College Confidential. You have as good a chance as every single other person on this site with a 4.0+ GPA and an exorbitant number of extracurriculars. Good luck!</p>

<p>^lol. You have a good chance imo, just remember that it’s always more than your profile alone</p>

<p>Yes. You should give up now. When Mar 29 rolls around, as a matter of principle, you should not even check your admissions results.</p>

<p>The logic of that is simply startling, no? C’mon. Stop freaking out. Go relax. You can’t change what’s gonna happen. You’ve worked hard, achieved a lot, and will have a great college career – wherever you attend. You’re blessed. Now stop the pre-decision freak out.</p>

<p>@loltoasty thanks :slight_smile: I guess I am just freaking out huh?</p>

<p>@T26e4 Hahah I always enjoy the sardonic comments. But thank you :slight_smile: I will try to stop freaking out. Maybe go actually finish a xbox 360 game…since I never had time to finish one until now!</p>

<p>More comments would be nice though people :)</p>
