<p>You’d probably want to raise your GPA (because of freshman year) but its good that you have an upward trend. Your SAT is really good, especially for a sophomore, so that shouldn’t be a problem. Just be sure to do well on SAT2s/APs/IBs and all that good stuff. Don’t sweat it too much though, you’re on a good path.</p>

<p>Ehh, don’t know why your GPA’s are so low considering your excellent SAT score. Are you taking the maximum number of AP’s you can? Many sophomores and even freshman take 1-3 AP classes before their Junior or Senior year. Obviously this depends on the school, hopefully you are taking the most challenging course-load you can, UPenn is a very tough school!</p>

<p>Well last year I got two 89s for my final grades ending me up with 3 Bs. My school has you take 6 honors freshman and sophomore year. Then 3 aps and 3 honors junior and senior.</p>

<p>It was a 3.6 unweighted freshman year actually</p>
