<p>Hello, I am currently a highschool student Junior year.
My grades haven't been the best and now I regret all thoes times wasted. I want to fix it or atleast try to make myself stand out and maybe get accepted to a UC campus. </p>

<p>I never really thought about college until this year, now I want to attend UCLA but with the grades I have? I'm putting myself down. </p>

<p>Is there any advice that you might have to accomplish what I want or atleast somewhat make my highschool years seem better?</p>

<p>I have a 2.84 gpa.</p>

<p>My grades are A's and B's and usually in each semester I had either 2-3 C's except for my last i only recived one C.</p>

<p>I still haven't taken my SAT but I will in June. :)</p>

<p>I have also had Honors english, IB visual arts and Theory of knowledge which is also an IB course.</p>

<p>Volunteering hours, haven't done them yet my school requires 40 but if I am willing to do more. </p>

<p>Any options or opinions you have will be very helpful. </p>

<p>Thank you for your time and help.</p>

<p>If you’re looking at UCLA or Berkeley it will be very difficult because of your GPA. Depending on if you break a 2000 on SATs or 30 on ACTs, you could get into UC Santa Barbara or certain schools of that caliber … Chance me back please</p>

<p>I’m going to be honest here, a GPA under 3 quite frankly is sort of pathetic and will have no chance at a UC school. However, at times, they will get nice and admit a handful of low GPA folks… So, my advice to you is make the best out of what you can with your current GPA and look for schools that you have a chance at and pick the one that will offer you the best education.</p>
