Worries

As a rising senior I am worried about many things:

1 getting a bunch of community service hours for NHS

2 the lack of ap/ ib classes at my school

3 my chances of getting into my dream school

Which do you guys think is the biggest deal?

I feel like Dream School Chances are most important considering the other two just contribute to the chances of you getting into your dream school. However, to raise your chances of getting into your dream school you could take AP/IB classes outside of school (talking with your counselor) and self-study them, which is common especially for easier APs such as AP Environmental Science, AP Art History, or AP Psychology. Language APs are also common for self-studying especially if you already speak the language. As for Community Service Hours, there are many places to get community service. You could check out Red Cross, Sacred Heart, and other organizations around you. You could also see if you can become a tutor and take a paycheck in the form of community service hours. Lastly, as a rising senior, you should probably start the college application process as soon as you can, because great college essays/supplementals definitely won't hurt your chances of getting in your dream college. Best of luck!
