Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>This isn't so much a chances post as much as it is a question of how much my bad 9th grade year will have on me. </p>

<p>Unweighted GPA
9th Grade: 2.6
10th Grade: 3.8
11th Grade: 3.8 (So far) </p>

<p>Four AP Classes this year (AP English Lang, AP US History, AP Biology, AP Calculus AB)</p>

<p>Senior Year Schedule Should be:
AP World History
AP English Lit
AP US Government
AP Comparative Govt
AP Physics B
AP Statistics (Maybe)</p>

<p>EC's (I intend to continue these into 12th)</p>

<p>-Student Council (11th,12th, Student Council President hopefully next year, and if not, then at least an officer position like secretary, treasurer, etc.)
-Newspaper (10th, 11th, 12th -- News Editor)
-Diversity Workshop (10th, 11th, 12th -- Group Leader)
-Latin Club (11th,12th -- President)
-It's Academic Club (11th, 12th -- Alternate for TV Team)
-Novice Crew (9th Grade)</p>

<p>Jobs:
Work weekends, 8 hours a week at a bakery
Ump Baseball Games (When Available)</p>

<p>Awards: Miscellanous Science Fair Awards</p>

<p>So, basically, how much will colleges look down at my 9th grade GPA, considering the strong upward trend, strong course load, and decent leadership positions? My SAT's will not be that good (I'm terrible at verbal), and I'll probably end up in the 1200's if I don't prep, will be taking The New SAT classes starting in January.</p>

<p>How will Michigan, UNC, Wisconsin, Penn State, the UC's, and other state schools treat my terrible 9th grade year?</p>

<p>wow 6 APs for 12th grade and 4 APs for 11 grade? wow thats alot...are u sure you can handle all of that? well depending on how you do in 11th and 12th grade, i dont think ur 9th grade will look TOO bad, but it may pull your overall gpa down a lil. and you also have a lab (not like most people who only do school work so they get straight As) but u shouldnt worry too much. even if u worry, u cant go back and change ur 2.6 right, so just try your best and do your best in this year and next year and see it from there. btw, ur a junior, enjoy the year, ahah dont think about college already (thats some bad advice)</p>

<p>I second nguyent.</p>

<p>Besides, strong upward trends look REALLY good. Never slip. (And don't let senioritis creep up on you either.)</p>

<p>Good luck on those 6 APs. I've known from experience that they can get painful. ^_^</p>

<p>Michigan and the UCs don't care about 9th grade grades,</p>
