I’m going to be a sophomore at my high school next year. I just got my report card with my freshman year grades and i’m panicking. My final grades are:
Math- B
English- A
Social Studies- B+
Biology- A-
French- A-
I’m in all honors classes, and I took the highest level of classes offered to freshmen. My weighted GPA is 4.25, and I calculated my unweighted GPA to be around a 3.73. Do I have any chance of picking my grades up and getting into a top college? Please help:(
I don’t think you should be asking us this question. The matter of picking up your grades is only up to you, and will always be. Remember that you put in you get out. Everyone always has a chance to bring up their grades, but it’s up to an individual to decide if they want to.
However, don’t take bad grades in freshman year as a total tragedy. You were probably getting used to a lot of things. Colleges will understand. Keep working hard.
This is the internet - you can ask whatever is on your mind - though you may not like the answer.
A 3.73 unweighted and 4+ weighted GPA is nothing to sneeze and and, if maintained, will open many college doors to you.
Keep it up. Do your best and your college path will unfold as you go. At this stage, yours may, or may not lead to a ‘top school’ but, most successful people didn’t go to ‘top schools’.
