Applicant's Advice
"GPA is crucial and cannot be overlooked regardless of hooks or achievements. Build strong study habits and time management skills early. Set ambitious goals and work persistently. Be cautious about competitive academic environments—prioritize mental health over prestige. The ultra-competitive culture at top prep schools can be toxic and damaging to wellbeing. Success at prestigious institutions is not worth sacrificing mental health."
