<p>Hey, so I am currently a junior at my high school. I was wondering if any experienced applicants knew how difficult schools like Richmond and Villanova would be to get into. Currently, my freshman year sucked. That was near a 3.3 range (keep in mind, ALL weighted), and then sophomore year was near a 3.7. Now I'm pacing to get a 4.5 this year, because I am going all out on all my classes, taking mostly honors and some AP's. Hopefully I can end up with a cumulative GPA of 4.0, 4.1? Will colleges count me out based on freshman (and even sophomore) grades? I am super involved with athletics and extra curricular's, as well as decent community service. I will be taking my SAT and ACT next semester, and plan to do very well on those. Anyways, if anyone can sort of gauge my chances to get into those, that would be awesome.</p>
<p>Colleges like to see a gradual increase in your GPA as you get older. So if you could get a 4.0 this year I think you should be okay of Villanova I don’t really know about Richmond. And get your SAT to an 1850+</p>
