Tennis Scores Lives
I have so much school pressure: What should I do?
My life is crazy. I’m constantly worrying about my grades, my college credentials, my personal life and so many other things. Usually I feel good, but especially because of school and this being my junior year (most important for colleges), I’m worried sick.
School wise, is having a 3.56 GPA in all Honors Classes good for most colleges? I’m also in Peer tutoring, and am in my school’s magazine and ping pong club. I play varsity level for my tennis and football team. Is this good for colleges?
I just feel too much pressure to succeed. Any advice? I’m worried that no colleges will accept me. Also my PSAT scores were not that good (1590 and 1680). I’m so nervous. Help!
Alright, chill out. Take it from someone who applied to the Ivy League. Your GPA is perfectly good. Your extracurriculars sound fabulous, and they’ll be even more fabulous if you’ve done them since you were a freshman or before. Invest in a book about the SAT, since they’re sold at every Barnes and Noble. Just relax and do your best for now, since (assuming you’re working hard in class), you’re doing about all you can do now. It’s your admissions essay that you will really need to worry about, and unless you’re insanely on top of your game, you’re not going to worry about that until next summer at the earliest.
