Should I give up on my dream of going top Top 10 university?
It has been my dream since I was ten to go to an Ivy League University or other top school, and I have worked hard my whole academic career. HOWEVER, my grades my junior year weren't that great dropping my GPA from 4.0 to 3.8 un weighted and my SAT scores are sub par (about 1800). I am now a senior in highschool and stressing big time. Should I just give up now and avoid dissappointed and failure or try anyway and just wish upon a star to be accepted? am I being too hard on myself? am I crazy for wanting this so much? please help! thanks!
I should have been more specific. I am only considerng applying to Brown, Columbia and/or Yale for ivys. Brown is definitely my top choice and I have researched the schools and stuff. it's more than just the "brand name" and it is what I want, I just hope I didn't mess myself up too much with my not perfect scores and not straight A's

Sounds like you've got a fairly unreasonable goal for no good reason. If you're considering all ivies equally, you don't have a good reason to attend one. They're very different schools, offering different majors. Very few people have a good reason to attend a top school. Sounds like you need to instead figure out what school is best for your goals, and you can take 'bragging about what school I went to 30 years ago' off your life goals.

You are stressing yourself too much because your SAT will not get you into the top 10 no matter what. Apply to one any as a long shot but your SAT puts you in the top 500 somewhere.

No. If you've been working hard all along, why stop when you're already so close to the finishing line? Remember why you held on for so long. Besides, your grades aren't that bad, you just have to work a LITTLE BIT harder.
