<p>So i'm a black guy and go to super competitive public high school and have always taken challenging courses but i'm a bit worried that my super rough freshman year is gonna screw me over.</p>

<p>GPA Unweighted:
9th-2.94
10th- 3.29
11th- 3.43</p>

<p>Unweighted Overall: 3.22
Overall Weighted may be 3.5-3.7 I'm not sure yet.</p>

<p>As for class rank, that's what I'm freaking out about because since my high school is super competitive i might not make the top 50% mark so I may be slightly below that 50% mark.</p>

<p>Go to the websites of all these colleges and look at the GPAs and SAT scores of the students they admitted.
That's what I have been doing. that way you get the straight story. </p>

<p>You aren't interested in Loyola U. in Baltimore? So convenient. And Towson State? </p>

<p>What about Hood College in Maryland? </p>

<p>Do you know what you want to major in?</p>
