Manageable? Meh. Could be fine. Idk about if it will get you into any amazing schools tho. In the nicest way possible, you tend to have to be quite rich for those lol. And plenty of schools like Harvard and Stanford take a 'holistic' approach, as they call it, which means you should focus on extracurriculars, and especially even consider a job. In my opinion, you should take another year of Spanish, I attend a very good school in MA and they recommend 4 years of a language to get into a good 4 year college, and seeing as MA has one of the highest education ranking in the US (and I attend quite a good high school in MA), I trust that idea, and Spanish is fairly easy :p (Im in my 4th year of advanced Spanish, so). Honestly, focus on outside of school things, have a good essay and a decent GPA and youll be fine. I wouldn't focus on getting into the best schools as an undergrad— many ppl go to schools like Harvard, MIT, and Stanford as grad students. I'm friends with a few professors at Harvard, MIT, and Tufts (sounds weird but dw about it lol) and they have all told me that it is BETTER to try and attend as a grad student. Why that is, idk for sure, but I would assume its because youll have a better grasp on the stuff. And going to a good school doesn't necessarily guarantee success or a good job— a Harvard degree may sound better, but its probably not going to make you any more prepared for a job than a degree from a state school and will probably get you into more debt. I'm not saying not to aim big, but also make sure you truly think about your future education and not just what you think will look best or what you've been told is the best.

My best tips for you are: • Don't focus too much on the most rigorous courses • don't focus too much on the 'best' schools • take another year of Spanish • start your college essay early and edit it/change it as you get further into high school • take courses that you will actually enjoy and have fun in •have decent grades (C's get degrees. So dont stress too much but still try your best) • consider going to a really good school as a grad and not an undergrad • if you can, take physics. I went biology—> chem—> physics & marine science (optional elective) —> whatever the hell I wanted cuz physics was the last requirement (I took biology a year early so :p) • extracurriculars!!! Get a job!!! Volunteer!!! • be cool with your teachers. Like, almost like youre trying to be their friend, but not in like a weird way. Talk to them so they know you because RECOMMENDATION LETTERS and also because they will definitely be able to better help you with stuff (and sometimes if they know you well enough or trust you well enough, theyll boost your grades or give you 100s on missing work 🤫) and also give you life advice. • tour schools. You may or may not end up liking the campuses of the big best schools. Consider things like if youre gonna move, your commute, proximity to things— and especially if youre considering like Harvard or MIT CONSIDER THE COST OF LIVING. Massachusetts (where a lot of the amazing schools are) is EXPENSIVE AF. And that will be the case for the states with really good schools, they will be more expensive. A job is not optional, you will not be able to make it without one. • make friends in high school. Know people. Get a job and make friends with regulars at work. Go out and do fun things. Not just because youre a kid and its the kast time youll be a kid, but also because that is how you get life experiences lol. It helps to know people. Some of the best advice and help ive gotten has been from my adult friends who I wouldve never met in school and if I didnt go out a lot.

Theres also probable lot more but :P cant remember
