What can I do to increase my chances of getting into an amazing university?
Hi, I'm a sophomore in high school. I feel like it's too late for me to get into a great university and that all my opportunities to do something extraordinary have been missed. I was wondering if there is anything I can do this upcoming summer and junior year so that my application for college stands out. I am aiming for UC's like UCLA and UC San Diego, Berkeley, and other great universities. Also, my school provides 2 AP classes junior year and 5 AP classes senior year. There are no other options. I am thinking of taking a college course this summer at community college as well as getting a job. Will this benefit me? What else will benefit me? #college #university #college-applications #ucla #berkeley

Is high school honors worth it?
I'm wondering if high school honors matter to empoylers. I already got accepted ED into Northeastern University, so I assume it won't matter to colleges if I didn't get one. I'm planning to drop a math class as I hate math and it just stresses me out. Will Northeastern rescind my application if I drop that math class? I failed the first term of that math class, so I retook it, but will they recind me if I don't finish the second term. Will graduating from high school matter to empoylers at all?
