Anyone else feel like they don’t stand a chance?

I felt exactly how you felt all four years of high school! I had a 3.7 GPA (or something like that, I can’t remember the exact decimal) and would always worry because the fact is... it’s not great. Also, the first time I took the SAT I got 1150. I was average at sports and wasn’t in that many clubs.

And I got into Berkeley. I’m not at all trying to brag, but I’m just saying I was average and think I got into a pretty good school. It’s easier said than done, but try not to worry too much.

I asked for my chances on lots of subs and got so scared because of everyone else’s stats. I am an average candidate but did okay. If you ever have any questions on writing essays, feel free to reach out to me!! Hopefully I’ll be able to help a little (:
