In desperate need of advice...? help please?

I am a junior in high school and am mega-stressed. Here's some of my activities:


-Participated in Chinese dance for 6 years


- performed with a group for new year festivals


- was involved in dancing a ceremony for Confuscius


- Was in youth orchestra for 4 years in two different groups


- Was in Debate Club 1 yr


- Volunteered in a library for 4 yrs, earning over 270 hours.


- I did Wu-shu for 2 years


- President of the Table Tennis Club


- worked 2 summers for the creation of the club.


Current GPA 3.76 unweighted, weighted 4.3 / 4.2


So here's my problem, i worry that I am not good enough to attend the top-notch universities for law (georgetown, univ of chicago)


I am afraid I am going to end up going Universit of Maryland (College Park) , my state college, which is like high school all over again. My high school is really competitive, and I am not sure I am smart enough or have that extra edge that can let me go to the college of my dreams. Am I worrying too much?In desperate need of advice...? help please?
I hope you realize that law school comes after undergraduate college. Go to the University of Chicago for four years and get your Bachelor's degree in something relevant, and then apply to their law school, which is three more years, I believe.





You'll probably get in. Be sure your essay talks some about coming to this country, how you overcame all the difficulties of cultural change, and so on. Let them know what you bring to the school that's a little different. Everybody at Chicago is very smart with great grades and test scores.





I went to the U of Chicago as a math and physics major. A good friend from high school went there, too, as a political science major and then stayed to go to their law school.In desperate need of advice...? help please?
Don't worry. If you have good test scores, along with all these activities, you should be able to get into some high end schools. I think that all of your activities should help you.


If you have a 33 or higher on the ACT, then I really doubt that you won't get in.


My gpa was only slightly higher than yours and my ACT was a 34, and I got into Northwestern University, with no problems. I also got into all the other schools I applied to (University of Illinois at urbanna, Saint Louis University, and Marquette). I feel that I should mention that for all these schools, I applied for the engineering department, which tends to be harder to get into than standard.


Just relax, even if you don't get into the school of your dreams, I'm sure that there are plenty of other schools that are well suited for your personality.
just get a high SAT or ACT- (above 2200 or 33 )score and write good essays and youll easily get in


you have alot of EC stuff, dont worry


just work hard, i arrived to the states in the middle of 6th grade and it all worked out for me
