Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Ok, I am a freshman making my transition into the 10th grade next year. I did extremely poorly freshman year because of a personal issue that has nothing to do with death or any of those sad forgiving dilemmas. My school does GPA out of 8 but I don't know what that is for my grades but I did calculate it with a 4.0 system and I ended up with a 2.7 <_< I know, I know, it's a horrible GPA.</p>

<p>English 9 Honors - B+</p>

<p>Global History 9H - C (1st and 2nd quarter I was in AP world and I got a C 1st and an F 2nd and I dropped out so I was in honors for 3rd and 4th)</p>

<p>Math 10 Honors (I blew it here) - D</p>

<p>Computer Programming: Visual Basic - C+</p>

<p>Earth Science - B</p>

<p>French 2 - B</p>

<p>Digital Photography - B+</p>

<p>Design and Drawing for Production - B</p>

<p>Gym - A</p>

<p>As you can see, I did really terrible freshman year but right now I have the motivation/drive to get straight A's next year. I just want to go to a SUNY school, preferably Stony Brook for pre-med or GWU. If I end up with a 4.0 freshman and junior I can bring my 2.7 up to a 3.5. Think I will make it? No worries about the SATs, I already have a tutor for it and I got a 1640 on my 1st practice SAT which I took cold, last week. I never had any prior experience on it until then. I'm positive that I can get a 2200+ by the time junior year rolls around which is 2 years anyway. So yeah, any insight would be appreciated.</p>

<p>I think you can definitely make it into a SUNY School. Just work hard, you're stats aren't too bad.</p>

<p>Good luck (:</p>

<p>Well I forgot to mention if it was a SUNY school, only Stony Brook or Binghamton. </p>

<p>Interests:</p>

<p>BU (pre-med)
Stony Brook (pre-med
GWU (pre-med)
Binghamton (pharmacy)
St. Johns (pharmacy)
NYU (pre-med)</p>

<p>Thats my list so far. . .</p>

<p>Freshman year, chill. IF you work hard starting soph year you can probably have a decent shot at Stanford.</p>

<p>btw, I'm also a rising soph and I have similar problems towards you, except it's more like EC/activity/studying (I did NOTHING except Pokemon and World of Warcraft, starcraft, etc this year) but my gpa was (astonishingly) a 4.0...</p>

<p>I know colleges will definitely like the upward-trend in my GPA for sophomore and junior year which I will hopefully show, I just want to know if say, a 2200 SAT with around a 3.5-3.6 GPA is good enough for the colleges I listed above. My EC's are fine and hypothetically thinking, recs and all are fine too.</p>
