<p>I am currently a Junior in high school. I am white and live in California. I had a very shaky beginning to high school academically due to social anxiety. However, my sophomore and junior year I have turned it around and become a top student as I was able to overcome my fear of the social part of highschool (I made sure to base my application essays off of this).
What are my chances for George Washington and U of Maryland</p>
<p>Weighted GPA for GW: 3.99
Weighted GPA for U of Maryland: 3.8
Unweighted GPA: 3.6</p>
<p>Also will somebody tell me if only going algebra 1- pre cal will hurt my chances. As well as a somewhat weak science schedule.</p>

-Letter from my AVID teacher who has watched me help others</p>
<p>Clearly I had a significant incline in my GPA over the years. However, my Freshman and Sophmore year was mainly made up of regular classes, not honors. This was due to a horrible councilor who refused to let me excel.</p>
<p>Will my horrific Freshman year and kinda sophomore year ruin my chances of these schools? Or will my strong Junior year and writing about overcoming social anxiety help me to have a chance?
Thank you so much! </p>
