My cumulative GPA from freshman and sophomore year was 3.77. I just got my semester grades back for junior year and I got straight As (taking 3 APs-Lang, Physics, Calc AB). I think I can keep getting A’s. I kind of turned my life around too late. Do I still have a chance at Ivies? I go to a top STEM school in my state and have too many extracurriculars to have taken another AP (4 was the max without having a really wonky schedule). I will take another 3 APs next year.
Please…
- get over yourself, you don’t have a terrible GPA
- Do not obsess about Ivy League schools. Admission to them is petty much a crapshoot for almost everyone. There are tons of great colleges and universities out there that can give you an amazing college experience and take you anywhere you want to go in life.
