3.8 GPA

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am a Sophomore in high school. My freshman year, I earned a 3.8 GPA for both semesters. The thing that brought my GPA down was math which really is not my strongpoint. I got A's in all my subjects but a B+ in math. I can see 3.8 being my GPA for the rest of my high school career. This was really disappointing for me, because I expected a 4.0 judging by the amount of work I put into every subject. :( </p>

<p>I want to apply for Ivy Leagues in the future and I was wondering how much this will hinder my acceptance? All the other aspects of my resume are in great shape but my GPA is killing my vibe.</p>

<p>Also, if I am able to boost my GPA to a 4.0 for the rest of my high school career, will colleges pay attention to the upward trend a lot?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>You’ll still be a competitive applicant. Nobody can really tell you how much it will “hinder” your acceptance chances because it’s all relative.</p>

<p>Yes they will notice the upward trend.</p>

<p>One grade will not make or break you. Just keep up the good work. </p>

<p>Keep up the good work during your sophomore year. My freshmen year I had 2 Bs and my sophomore year I had 2 Bs and junior year I had one B</p>
