<p>I'm really nervous because of my freshman year GPA. I took one honors class and ended with a 3.07 (I know, ouch.) and sophomore year, I ended with a 3.8! Junior year I (so far) have a cumulative GPA of 4.2! That's with all honors and an AP too. Anyways, averaged together, that's only like... a 3.5 or 3.6 in total. I know there are other factors in the admission process, but should I even bother with such a low cumulative GPA? I'm so nervous -_- I also know that next year I'll be taking 5 AP's... Lit, Calc, Stats, Psych, and French. Help?</p>

<p>Oh and P.S., I haven't taken the SAT's yet :/ Next month though! How important are SAT's in general? Because I'm not really a good standardized tester.
To top it off, I also have a bangin' essay planned! Like seriously though. It's really good.</p>

<p>So which would I have a better chance getting into? Should I just apply into English maybe? Because I wouldn’t mind doing that either.</p>

<p>you could do that and change your major once youve been admitted. I changed my major like a week after i got accepted and had no problem doing so.</p>

<p>I think you should apply to whichever major you want the most if you’re relatively certain it’s what you want.</p>
