<p>HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAA, I'm really on the ground laughing. </p>
<p>He has a 2.85 and your saying schools such as Iowa, U. Arizona, Mizzou, and Colorado aren't good enough?!?!?</p>
<p>He couldn't even get into half of the schools on the site. HE HAS A 2.85, he should be happy if he can even make it into some of those. Sorry, but a top 50 school is not within reach. Sorry it's not a HYPS nam3less, but not everyone can attend those schools.</p>
<p>*I'm not trying to knock on the author of this thread, but some people on here are just giving you flat out bad advise. Take their advise with a grain of salt.</p>
<p>That bad GPA 9th grade is a perfect sustainer of straight-A's coming years. You just can't afford anymore A minuses and B's, or C's -- wasted reserves of them in 9th.
But what you really need to do now, is to not to dwell on your mistakes and cry, -Aaah, I got 2.85 GPA!!!, - but to review your mistakes and refrain from repeating them in future. You still CAN make it to Princeton, but you not neccessarily will.</p>
<p>kinglin, he's in 9th grade, there is plenty of time to pull up his gpa!</p>
<p>this may be slightly off topic, but im pretty sure "he's" a girl. i dont know a lot of guys with "sweetie" in their name.</p>
<p>they should really put gender on profiles.</p>
<p>so yeah, improve your GPA and do well on your SATS.</p>
