What are some tips I’m only in middle school but my grades suck right now

[@rosecarmellegermain1223]

@@andrewcard4671your middle school grades ultimately do not matter much. But this is your time to literally set the tone for how motivated and how hard you are going to work in high school. Middle school is a transitional period it is for you to get ready and build habits for high school. So if you weren’t used to studying and taking things seriously before you might want to start now because this is not the kind of habit you want to take into high school with you or in life in general. Figure out your weak spots and find a way to fix them, ask questions, start figuring out what you like(clubs, sports, arts…), start to figure out what issue in the world fascinates and you are passionate about and start to do extra curricular a based on that if you are struggling to find something to do, if you are still struggling create your own. College applications are about you as a person than it is about just grades, your grades still need to be decent but it isn’t everything.

[@ameliam.7104]

I’m a junior at Marvin and man, the pressure and stress we all feel is practically tangible so it’s nice to know that perfection isn’t what colleges are asking for. The essay tips were awesome! Thank you for this!

[@twistedcracker2912]

i’m heading toward the end of my sophomore year and i’m really nervous now because i’ll only be taking one AP next year (if i can’t get it changed which i may not be able to) and a couple honors classes. i play varsity and jv club rugby this year and i was in school cheer last year (but not this year). i plan on continuing rugby for the rest of highschool:) and am probably gonna be captain junior and senior year. i work a part time job. i’m at a really good high school in charlotte (providence high which you may know) but i’ve only taken honors classes so far, not APs but i really hope to step up my game soon and possibly do dual enrollment. i’m going up to 3 years in latin. i do not have much club experience at all atm (i was in latin club last year and it was basically nothing) but i really hope to do UNICEF and a medical club where you meet at the hospital every month, and some other things. senior year i want to get my CNA at a college during the summer. if i do all this and some more volunteer work, possibly dual enrollment and AP classes, do you think i have a chance? i’m in-state as well. also THANK YOU for making this video, i am in love with your YT channel. sorry this is so long❤️

[@jas2097]

i did not do as much as you have described and i still got in, its not all about your academics, they take everything into consideration like your essays. an admissions counselor told me that they accept around 50% of instate students that apply so me personally, i would say you have a pretty good chance at getting in with what you have so far, good luck!

I have been dancing for 2 years and have been involved in dance team at my school since freshman year and I am secretary of my national honors society of dance arts since freshman year also. I also play viola at school and I am in the honors class for both dance and orchestra. I have a GPA weighted 4.2 and unweighted 3.7. I take all honors and I took ap world freshman year but I got a B. I'm taking 3 aps this year and the rest honors. I also have my own small baking business and I have been dogsitting for 5 years. Do you have any recommendations on how I can better my chances?!

As someone who is in-state with a SAT score of a 1060....it’s very hard to get into, especially since they consider mostly people from the 10% category.

[@alienwarex51i3]

@@ClaireAndConnor North Carolina mandates that all public colleges admit at least 82% of each class from in-state, so a 19% out of state acceptance rate is impossible. Scott's not far off, the acceptance rate for out of state students is abysmally small, and the in-state acceptance rate is already low (40%) and shrinking each year. In 2018, the out of state acceptance rate was 3,825/29,541 or 12.9%. In other words, if you're applying from out of state, you're more likely to get into Cornell University (14% in 2017), an ivy league school, than UNC Chapel Hill.
