<p>Without reading every post after the original one, I can relate to TC. </p>
<p>I did terribly in the first two years of high school after getting straight A’s and a President’s Award in middle school. I’m still not sure why it happened, I can only blame it on my lack of motivation. </p>
<p>Anyways, my cumulative gpa when I applied to colleges last fall was a 3.1 unweighted. On the other hand though, I got a 3.8 first semester of senior year and might get a 4.0 second semester. But ultimately, it was too little, too late. I got rejected from everything except for UC Merced and Riverside, and CSU Fullerton. </p>
<p>I will be attending a community college and have ambitious plans for transferring out. </p>
<p>TC and everyone else: Work your ass off in high school; don’t make the same mistake as me.</p>
