Currently I am a sophomore in high school. I come from a latino background. Both of my parents are from Mexico and dropped out in 6th grade. I speak 2 languages and I am learning French. We don’t have much money either pulling in about 50k for a family of four. Anyways that is just a bit about myself. As of now, I am starting to panic a little. I currently live in Virginia and my intentions were to go to my state’s best school UVA. However, freshman year and this year I have slacked off. In 8th grade which is when I started taking high school credit classes, I ended the year with a 4.2. Freshman year I slacked off ended with a 3.8. As of now, the best I could possibly get this year is a 3.5. Currently I am taking Journalism, pre-ap algebra 2, pre-ap chemistry, French 3, pre-ap english 10, AP Euro. Next year I have chosen to take AP Language. AP Bio. AP Us History, pre-calculus, pre ap physics. Is there still a chance I can get into a school like UVA with my grades? My only ECs are 1 year Jv Soccer. 1 year jv cross country. 1 year newspaper . I have also been working on an orchard since age 11.
I am also planning on taking French 4 next year and French 5 my senior year.
