When you step into the large building filled with unfamiliar faces, you feel a rush of anxiety and your breakfast sits uneasily in your stomach. You walk down the hall to your first period class. You open the door to find everyone else has already found their seats and are busily chatting up their neighbors. Everyone turns their heads toward the door and watch you as you meander towards the teacher’s desk. The teacher, finally looking up, greets you and fails to pronounce your name correctly.

I wake up at six o’clock on the dot and get into the shower. I grab a piece of toast, a glass of milk, and sit down to my morning newspaper. Sin… opposite over hypotenuse… The math test today should be a breeze; I spent all last night going over the worksheets we got in class. There was a party at John’s house last night and I heard a lot of people went. What were they thinking? It perplexes me to imagine that people would neglect their studies to attend such a vulgar festival.

When I think back about all those weekends I spent at home studying for the SAT, AP, or IB, I am filled with regret. After all, we are not only what our application indicates. To achieve the GPA and SAT scores my parents required of me, I gave up my passion for music, dance, and art. These ‘insignificant’ aspects of my life were pushed out of the picture because they played no role in determining my admission to a college.

Which one affects your acceptance more, your GPA or your SAT scores?

Much like the last few seconds before the buzzer goes off in a basketball game, the second half of a tied soccer game, or the last 12 inches to the other side of the pool, the second semester of junior year is the most important time of your high school career. It is a time for you to place the cherry on your transcript before you send it off to colleges. It is a time for you to test everything you have acquired through ten years of schooling. It is a time for you to grow as an active member of your community, a good friend, and an independent young adult.
