WARNING: THIS WILL BE AN ANGRY POST
So, for those of you underclassmen making your way through highschool and aspiring to college, I have some advice.
STOP.
Unless you are very intelligent and achieve excellent grades with moderate to minimal effort, your attempts are fruitless.
From my freshman year until this very moment, I have worked in high level classes in an attempt to garner respect from prestigious colleges. I've taken the SATs numerous times, all the honors and AP courses I qualified for, fought to keep my GPA above a 4.0 (and succeeded), and involved myself in as many extra-curricular activites as time permits.
COLLEGES DON'T CARE.
These days, being good isn't good enough. Applying to a high-ranked college as a fairly bright, fairly hard-working student? Prepare to be waitlisted.
Basically, you're good...but you're not good enough.
So why bother?
Why bother working your ass off in school in classes you do not have to take, and essentially be no better off than a kid who works just at the level they are expected to. Colleges un-weight your GPA anyway. So that B you worked so hard for in honors alegebra 2, that is like an A...is really just a B.
Why pay to take the SATs again because you just know you can do better on the math when a 1360 just isn't going to cut it anymore.
Why struggle to balance time between school, home, and every other thing you're involved in.
I guess I'm making a commentary of society today. It's not enough to be successful anymore; you have to be more successful, younger. As a generation we have strived to acheive more and more, and as a consequence, have made it impossible for a simple hard-worker to reach the levels of success reached in previous years. So much is expected of us that oftentimes I find it overwhelming.
Perhaps someone will read this and think that this is a result of over-estimating my intelligence and applying to school more academically challenging than I should attempt. To make this clear, I did not over-estimate my intelligence. I under-estimated the intelligence of everyone else.
