I have been working at my parents restaurant since I was in sixth grade and couldn’t do any extracurriculars until spring season of 10th grade. My school doesn’t have much clubs because it’s under resourced and only has sports and music and 2 honor societies. I am currently doing track and cross country but I started late and probably won’t be too good at but I like them a ton. I am ranked 1 in my school and my school has never sent anyone into an Ivy League except for this one student who got recruited for Cornell. I am FGLI, do you think I still have a chance at Princeton for QB? I don’t know what I should do. I’m a current rising junior. I’ll be studying for the PSAT and SAT while doing dual enrollment classes this summer. While also having fun of course.
What's up?! :) And of course, you still have a chance! The important thing is doing the most given what resources you have, so definitely bring up the context of your situation as a FGLI student. Control what you can, so definitely challenge yourself with tough courses, do well in them, do well on the tests, make friends and get good relationships with teachers, and pursue your extracurricular interests, whether outside of school, joining a club, or making new ones! You got this!
