Hey! You wrote about how you’re doubting yourself–don’t give up NOW!!!! Nobody peaks at 17 and keeps looking back. Besides, colleges really care about your grades; if those are good, other stuff shouldn’t matter. Think if you’re just the opposite–bad grades but brilliant assessment scores. “Here’s a bright kid who doesn’t try and doesn’t want to get anywhere.” You’ve always had dreams and great grades. (Besides–and this is a secret–my mom was valedictorian of her high school and got an SAT score 500 points lower than mine and still made it!) Anything’s possible!
