<p>You still have a good chance. Going below a 3.0 GPA will make the decision tough, but you should be fine. I’m attending Temple this Fall and your SATs are better than mine, but I had a higher GPA. Just work really hard Senior year and bring your grades up! Good Luck.</p>

<p>Thank you! And trust me I intend to! I actually decided to drop AP Human Geography because I was worrying that it may affect my other grades…</p>
