Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello, I'm a 10th grader right now in high school and I did horribly freshman year. I failed a semester of science and a whole year of math and had d's and c's for other classes, I was co president of my class and that was it, no other extra activates. After that I knew i needed to start changing so I went to summer school got my credits back for science and geometry and promised myself I would try harder next year so this year I have 3 As 2 bs 1 C and 1F the f will probably change to a D really soon. I have a 2.7 gpa and I tried running for class president this year but didn't win. SO next year I'm going to be taking Ap American Lit and Comp Ap American History, taking an Anthropology class at a local uni, Ap Psych , pre cal, chemistry, (I suck so much in science and math so i'm not going to hurt myself by taking high classes) honors Latin III, journalism II (editor and chief next year) and fashion design II. </p>

<p>Starting these Extra Curricular Activates Next year (Junior year):
-Founder of the tutoring club and chess club,
-co pres for the Muslim organization,
-running for class president again,
-journalism club,
-youth court,
-speech and debate,
-going to volunteer at my mosque, going to be a mentor for the upcoming freshman and going to volunteer at a hospice for grieving children and teens.</p>

<p>I want to become a surgeon or Emergency medicine doctor in the future and go to Med School, so i shadowed and ER doctor this year and going to shadow a surgeon next year. So guys do I have any chance to become valedictorian? or at least in the top 5? and do I have any chance getting into any of the ivies like Harvard/Yale. My college essay will be on how I started to love learning again, my recommendations will either be from the surgeon I will shadow and one Ap teacher. I'm preparing myself now for the SATs that I will be taking next year. Sorry about this being really long but thank you if you help me, it will mean a ot.</p>

<p>Even if you got all A’s for the rest of your High School career, your GPA would not be good enough for valedictorian (and I think you know that).</p>

<p>Also, your “ivies” chances are probably shot.
And your courseload is a huge jump for someone that had a C+ average last year, so I hope you’re up to it.
You’ll need to really focus this year, and find you a decent school to get into (again, ivies are especially unlikely).
Look up schools, and see what their average GPA/SAT/ACT were, and see what you need to do for the rest of HS to be in that average. Good Luck! :)</p>

<p>Your right I kinda knew that but what about top 10 or top 20 maybe? I heard a 3.7 gpa might even cut it for Harvard so I’m going to try so hard to get out of the 2 points. I still wont give up on ivies though because I heard they like to admit those students who have shown improvement. I’m super ready for my course load next year I’m going to study really hard and never miss any homework and keep on improving. And the Ap courses I’m taking are the ones I feel most comfortable with the ones I either got an A or B on this year which is only history and English and in my school the psychology teacher is amazing my brother got a 4 on his ap exam so psy is one of my other aps. and I’m going to find a tutor for math I will meet up with because math is my weakest point. thank you so much for replying to my question any more answers guys would be useful.</p>

<p>Well your “top” depends on how big your class is, and what your current rank is.
Just make sure you have some safeties to go along with those ivies.
Hope everything works out!</p>
