Rejected from all 8 Ivies. 1520 SAT 4.4 GPA graduating early. Top 2% of my class.

Here's a lesson, kids: if you're not hooked (or have perfect scores and ECs) don't waste your time and money.

I had good scores, a good GPA, pretty good essays. Bad ECs though.

Honestly, work hard but enjoy your high school years. Do not waste your high school career like I did. Make friends, go to sporting events, join extracurriculars that excite you, and just have fun. I wasted a lot of time these past couple of years hoping to get into a T20. Now I realize I was a fool.
