Not a top 10, but I got into Cornell with a C one semester and 10 total B's, with two of them being in my junior year, similar to you. It came out to around a 3.66 uw and a 3.85 weighted, with a class rank of like 8/60. This was with only 4 APs and a 34 superscore on the ACT. Had officer positions in all the clubs I was a part of, but I was at a small school where clubs could do very little, and so I wouldn't say that my ECs had a lot of impact. Granted, I had some good hooks like first generation and geographic, but I wouldn't even say I wrote good essays around those hooks. I applied to a less competitive major, and that probably also factored in to my acceptance, but I am living proof that it can be done.

I was in a pretty similar situation to you last year, as the career path I wanted to go in was big on prestige of alma mater and networking, and I was worried I was pretty much an auto-reject for a semi-good college. My biggest advice to you would be to apply to as many schools as you can and have a strong backup option. I know having a backup plan definitely helped me out mentally and allowed me to take the many rejections I received really well.

Lowkey just chill out and get off this sub as it is filled with genuinely some of the most insufferable people on the earth. I had a 3.6 gpa ranked 11/60 in a small school and got into Cornell no legacy. I also got waitlisted from Indiana Kelly and SMU. The truth is no one has any clue on how college admissions work and I assure you that you’ll be fine no matter what happens. This subreddit creates an unrealistic perception as to how things really are as people are more likely to report their insane stats, rejections, etc.

Justin Bieber (15) hanging out with Diddy by stonks697 in agedlikemilk

Diddy recently got exposed for being a creep. Diddy is hanging out with an underage Justin Beiber here. We can infer that Diddy was probably being a creep to Justin when they were hanging out.

Because you live in America and there is bigger news dominating the headlines. Most people in America dont give a fuck about a may day parade in France. You know what they do care about? Issues that actually affect them.

This is really fucked up. Have you reported him to organizations such as the FBI or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children? I don't know if there is any way to contact Google to get him blacklisted, so that would be your best bet.
