Basically my mid year grade report isn't looking too great right now. I had almost a 4.0 gpa since freshman year and through fall term, but second term isn't going well.
Not to make excuses (though here is where I make excuses): after I got deferred from my top choice EA school I basically spent most of my time refining RD essays, because I had to get my applications out around 2 weeks early because of family commitments. I also am captain of my winter sport this year and I am a starter/essential to the team and I can't be slacking off there. This is especially annoying because my co captains committed ED so they're just focusing on the team, and it would be unfair of me to do any less. To put the cherry on top, I missed a few days of school this term due to illness and a family vacation (which was extremely important to my parents and non negotiable). I am currently still on vacation but thinking about the pile of tests I have to get back to is stopping me from having any fun. Once I get back it's a whirlwind of trying to not miss practice, make up tests on material I don't really understand, and prepping for midyears. I will obviously do my best but I don't think it will end with great second term grades. Will this absolutely kill my chances at reaches (HYS etc)?
