<p>My overall unweighted GPA has a downward trend and I'm afraid it's going to be somewhat disastrous when I apply to college. Here are my grades:</p>
<p>Freshman: 4.0
P.E. 9 - A
Physical Science - A
Honors English 9 - A
Visual Art - A
Honors Geometry - A
AP World - A, 4 on the exam</p>
<p>Sophomore: 3.88
Honors Alg. 2/Trig - A
Multimedia Art - A
AP Physics - B+
Biology - A
Spanish - A
Pre-AP English - A</p>
<p>Junior: 3.55 (first semester) :(
APUSH - B
AP Lang - B+
Honors Precalc - B+
Spanish - A
Honors Physiology - A
Honors Chemistry - A-</p>
<p>As of the end of first semester, my overall UW GPA is around 3.8. The end of second semester is coming up, and as of right now I have only 2 As and the rest are all Bs/B+s, which will most likely leave my overall UW GPA somewhere around 3.7. I have good ECs and okayish test scores (32 ACT/2110 SAT...definitely going to retake them). Since I've consistently been taking AP/Honors classes, will highly selective colleges think that my amount of rigor has stayed the same and then think the downward GPA trend is bad? Is it even possible for me now to get into top CA schools like UCLA/Berkeley/Stanford from out of state? Thanks in advance! </p>
<p>Stanford is probably out of reach for you considering colleges want to see improvement over all 4 years. Your classes also probably not as challenging as other top applicants. However, it depends largely on what EC involvement you actually have (“good” is relative) and how well you do when retaking the SAT because 2110 won’t get you into Berkeley or Stanford. All three are high reaches. </p>
<p>Stanford is a reach for everyone. Keep working hard. Look for opportunities to improve and challenge yourself. </p>
<p>Thank you for your feedback! I really appreciate it. </p>
<p>For my ECs, I’ve done Spanish Club, Science Olympiad (going to be President next year), Honor Society (Junior Chair this year, going to be Treasurer next year), NHD (won a scholarship in 9th grade), Key Club, Link, FBLA (Treasurer this year), tutoring middle school students, and regularly volunteering at a food bank. I’m highly involved in all of them. Also, I have been a camp counselor every summer since 9th grade. </p>
<p>My school only offers 10 AP classes and doesn’t allow more than 2 per year. P.E., Physical Science, Art, Spanish, and Bio are graduation requirements, so there was no way I could have replaced them with APs. I self-studied AP Environmental Science sophomore year and got a 4. The schedules I’ve had are basically the most rigorous that are available at my school. I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that colleges see this in the high school profile page that the counselor sends, so as long as I pull up my grades and get good test scores, is it still possible to get into any of the UCs/USC? (Haha I knew Stanford was a high reach 
)</p>
