Hi ! This is my first post on college confidential. I’m currently a junior in high school, and I plan on pursuing Illustration and SLP. My top choice of school at the moment is Syracuse University.
I have maintained a 3.8 GPA all throughout highschool thus far. I have gotten all A’s and B’s throughout freshmen and sophomore year, nothing stellar but overall good grades.
This first semester of junior year has crushed me. I’m taking AP Us History, Geometry, Chemistry, Advanced Painting, Personal Finance and Preschool Lab. The finals are on monday.
In Adv Painting I got an A+
In Preschool lab I got an A
In APUSH I currently have a B+
In personal finance I will likely end up with a C+ or a B, if I do well on the final
Chemistry and Geometry are where I really struggled, with C-'s/C’s first marking period, and currently having D’s. The finals on monday, if I do really really well, will being them both up to C’s again. I hate chem and math.
Next semester, I have classes I love (german 4, honors english 11/12, apush, creative writing 2), and I feel like I’ll do well, and I’m going to push myself to try and get all A’s for the next semester + senior year
Do you think my chances of getting into Syracuse are crushed because of this semester? I have yet to take the SAT/ACT but I’m still panicking; its the only school I know of that has a good illustration program AND speech language pathology.
Thank u !
