Congratulations to all those accepted!
To future students, I would recommend pursuing as rigorous of an academic schedule as you think you can handle and pursue extracurricular activities you really enjoy; do not simply do extracurriculars because you think it will look good on a college resumé. Challenge, yet enjoy yourself in high school — you only go through it once!
