Hello, I was wondering what my chances are of getting into CU Boulder. Sadly my grades aren’t good at all. I am currently a Soft more and I only have 1 more year to prove myself and that would be junior year.
The classes I took in 9th grade were:
Honors Geometry: B
Honors English 9: B
AP Human Geo: B (AP test : 4)
AP Environmental: B (AP test: 4)
Spanish 2: B
P.E: A
Piano: A
I got the same exact grades for second semester.
My Unweighted GPA turned out to be 3.1. My weighted turned out to be a 3.83.
10th grade classes:
First Semester:
Honors Algebra 2: C
Honors English 10: C
Honors Biology: C
AP US history: B
Spanish: C
P.E: A
Second Semester:
Honors Algebra 2: B
Honors English 10: C
Honors Biology: B
AP US History: B
Spanish: B
Web Page Design: B
Second Semester however isn’t over.
My Unweighted GPA for first semester was a 2.5 (ouch…) and Weighted was a 3.166
I know I really messed up Softmore year… I’m hoping my 2nd semester grades will bring up this years GPA. Cause I am at a very low right now. I feel like I have absolutely no chance of getting into this school. I do have a wide range of colleges I wish to apply to but CU Boulder is the main one. I’m hoping to take the Computer Science Major. My extracurricular’s are basically nothing. I have 0 community service hours, no sports. The only thing I ever participated in was chess club, and i’m the president of the Programming Club… I’m also on the chess team. I am planning on volunteering during the summer because I have 0 hours in that as well. Am I done for and should just give up, or do I have some kind of chance… My class rank is at I think 40%… also very horrible.
Junior Year classes will be: AP Computer Science, AP World History, Honors Pre Calc, AP Biology, Honors Physics, Normal English, and Finance.
I will be taking the SAT during my Junior year and do plan on studying on that.
Thank you very much for any kind responses.
