College Admission Likelihood?

You might consider cutting back on some of the less important extracurricular activity so that you can remain focused on maintaining your high GPA. Sometimes less is more, at least when it allows you to focus on the things you find most useful by cutting out the less important activities. It's like editing a paper to make it more concise and have more impact, by improving the strengths and cutting the weaknesses. Contrary to what a lot of people think, your academics in your senior year are just as important as your sophomore and junior year, even though the grades won't necessarily be in for your initial college acceptance decision. You will have to send your final transcripts, which the college will review to determine if you got senioritis and they need to rescind the acceptance. You will need time to do essays for scholarship competitions and university applications. You'll have a good chance of getting a National Merit scholarship and other awards if you devote extra time for preparation. Your senior year is a good time to improve your time management to balance your workload.
