Underperformance after applying as a junior and ending up in the exact same place [AL resident, 4.0 GPA (with 10 college courses including advanced math), 36 ACT]

Sounds like a gap year wouldn’t be a terrible idea either.

EDIT: I had to go back two threads to understand what the heck was going on here: it’s not that the OP is underage, but rather that he accumulated a lot of h/s credit last year and could have graduated as a junior. As a consequence, he wound up applying to a lot of colleges prior to the current cycle (and apparently struck out?)

Those prior threads are cringe worthy, btw. He’s lucky he got into Colgate.
