Hi, I kind of wanted to share some of the things I have started doing to reach my goal of an Ivy League school. I just turned 13 years old, I come from a Mexican family and I really want to be the first in my family to graduate college. I’m currently in 7th grade. I have a 4.0 GPA. I’m in the top 90% in all of the state tests. I have also done all of 7th,8th,and 9th grade math. I’m also nearly done with all of algebra 1. I have been in different clubs such as leadership, student council, migrant student club, lgbt club etc..I have also attended many field trips to different colleges and universities in California. I’m looking forward to taking a lot of honors and AP classes in high school to try to get into an Ivy League School. My dream is to graduate with a business degree to turn into a business manager. I really like your content because it teaches me a lot about the whole process of getting into one of these amazing schools. Thank you!

Im an 8th grader and I've been working my butt off. I've taken all 10th grade courses which im going to complete by the end of 8th grade and I have a GPA of 4.5. I have 10 high school credits meaning I'm close to getting a diploma at a younger age. This is all great for me, but the one problem is that it's a lot of stress. I just want let you all know, it's not about working so hard that your going to bo overwhelmed. You have to look after yourself and you mental health. Is it worth ruining your life for a couple numbers on a sheet of paper that apparently dictate your whole life. These numbers don't shape who you are. Take what you love, and do what you can, don't hurt yourself and enjoy your life. But remember to learn.

It really depends; if you think you can handle it, you can try to take both, but if you think it will be too much work, don't worry about it. I would not advise doubling up on math if you already have a tough course load. Your best bet might be to ask some older classmates who've done it and see how they managed. hope this helps!

Glad you found this helpful! Yes, you are correct in that I took 7 AP classes. I think doing well in AP classes is a great way to show that you can handle challenging coursework, but the amount of AP courses taken depends on how many are offered at your school. Colleges will look at your school's course list and compare you academically to the other students in your class, but the exact amount APs you take will not make or break your college app. Remember to challenge yourself but also prioritize your mental health.

Hey Nicolas! I would definitely first check with your guidance counselor to see if dropping would mean that you get an F. If so, see if you can work something else out. Otherwise, consider exactly why you want to drop the class and if it's worth the F. Failing a class is not the end of the world, but you'd definitely have to explain that grade on your application.

I don't think you can take both as you are entering highschool. My school has a set amount of requirements you need to meet in order to graduate and be accepted into a CSU/UC (I live in California). At my school, we take 2 years of science but 3 is recommended. So your first year in high school you take one year of science that is offered for freshman :) in general take classes that are offered at your grade level. Biology was offered to the freshman at my school and it's mandatory to take it High school graduation requirements may be different at the high school you are going to but mine is 4 years if English, 3 years of math, 3 years of history, and 2 years of science! The rest are electives. You can always take more than the required which is actually good and talk to your hs counselor about requirements to graduate. Good luck!!
