"colleges like Stanford also want admits who they are confident can handle the coursework. If you have poor year grades and a LOR from a teacher or GC talking about skipping classes, it won’t bode well for your application. "
OP, read this again and listen! YES, doing well in classes at this point IS more important than “Drove $100,000 revenue to a large client at one of Ontario’s most successful internet marketing firms through innovative
marketing and design”. You are NOT applying for a JOB and a IT company, where your CV would be most impressive!. You will be applying to the most competitive colleges in the world. And that competition will only get fiercer in the next 2 years.
Perhaps College might NOT right for you at this point. Perhaps instead you need to look at Peter Thiel Fellowship program.
