@helpmeok you still have a chance under these conditions:
- If you work much, much harder next year. You can't let your G.P.A get much lower than it is now. Aim for As and Bs.
- If you continue your ACT/SAT prep and aim for scores that are above average. (You seem smart, so you can pull that off.)
- If you keep those AP classes in your schedule.
Don’t ever think you don’t have a shot. Apply. You are doing cross country, and that is a great extracurricular activity. If you can prove to colleges that you improved your grades tremendously, they’ll think you are an extremely hard worker, and will probably accept you.
Hope that helped!
