I plan to attend ASU (Arizona State University). I really have been stressed about this since the beginning of junior year.
Mainly because freshman/sophomore year of high school I openly admit I was a mess and didn’t care for my grades at all. By the end of sophomore year, I had a 2.2 GPA.
However, last year (junior year) I worked literally the hardest to my capabilities to get the best grades possible and I ended up getting straight A’s and B’s; nothing lower. It raised my GPA to a solid 2.5
I really regret my decisions early on, however my large improvement has inspired me to work towards ASU; It seems they have a pretty high acceptance rate however Im still extremely paranoid.
I also haven’t taken the SAT or ACT yet (I know, I know… It’s sad), however I do take those in the fall before the ASU deadline (Nov 1) and it will be the only available ones before the deadline. (I got a 21 on the practice ACT… which isnt that good I dont think).
I have participated in decent amount of school activities/clubs; mainly dedicated to computer and design.
The thing that bothers me is that I know I 100% have the potential to be apart of a university and I know I can do it… I just am kicking myself for my freshman + sophomore year mess up. I know I have the capability, and I know I’m smart and I almost legitimately hate myself for it…
Anyways, I feel like I’ve really just typed out my entire life story oops. But thats just how paranoid I absolutely am. I really REALLY want to get into a university all four years (maybe more) of my college experience, and I just want some reassurance and/or advice on the situation.
Thank you so much for reading!
