Hey. I am a senior this year, and I am applying to some fairly competitive colleges such as BC and Villanova. The problem is, freshman year I messed up and got a GPA of 3 after scaling. Ever since then, I have improved massively. I had a 4.0 gpa scaled sophomore year and a 4.37 scaled junior year with two AP classes and 1 honors classe. I am taking two AP classes, two honors classes, and one CP class this year. I got a 2100 on my SATs and somehow got a 33 on my ACTs after perfect scoring one of the sections, so these colleges would be target colleges for me if I hadn’t messed up freshman year. Because of my bad freshman year however, my scaled GPA is only a 3.82, I am hoping that my test scores will make up for my bad freshman year, and that colleges will see the upward trend in my grades. Do I have an alright chance of getting into these colleges.
What is your uwGPA in 4.0 max scale? wGPA means nothing to anyone outside of your high school.
You never know unless you try. You can’t do anything to change your gpa at this point, so you may as well go for it. If they don’t accept you, go to one of your safeties (which you should apply to no matter what).
What’s your UW?
In any case, it sounds like you stand a chance, but these remain reaches so focus on your matches and safeties.
