<p>So, I need to fix my GPA, unfortunately Summer School is gone here in San Diego.</p>
<p>Anyways, if any of you know of a way to replace my bad grades with better ones if I retake the courses that would be great.</p>
<p>I am in San Diego Unified, La Jolla High (They have some weird Autonomy).</p>
<p>Anyone? 
Please</p>
<p>*
It’s too late</p>
<p>I’m doubtful of that.</p>
<p>Does anybody have any serious answers?</p>
<p>Retake the classes during the year. Other than that it is too late.</p>
<p>whats the point? Community College is great</p>
<p>@CSIHSIS But that wont replace the original bad grade.</p>
<p>I was hoping for some kinda summer charter school that would count.</p>
<p>It’d be helpful if you told us what grade you’re in, your current GPA, classes you’ve taken, what your plan is.</p>
<p>I had a crappy GPA early on and the only way to fix it really is to do unbelievably well in the rest of your classes going forward. You can’t fix mistakes, but you can learn from them.</p>
<p>Also it’s basically August and summer school is pretty much almost over anyway.</p>
<p>too late. Retaking a class doesn’t replace the bad grades you got. Just take AP and honors classes and do well</p>
<p>Im going into 12th.</p>
<p>Freshman GPA 2.1
Sophmore GPA 2
Junior GPA 4.2</p>
<p>You are going into senior year with 2.76 cumulative GPA (I assume this is weighted because 4.2 goes above the 4 point scale). </p>
<p>What is your goal GPA? What do you want to achieve over the course of the next semester? Because that’s all you really have time for. I assume, once again, that you want a higher GPA in time for college applications, which would make second semester void. </p>
<p>If you are shooting for anything above a 3.2, I wouldn’t want to be the one to break the bad news to you.</p>
<p>You should have thought of this earlier…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Im looking for a 3.0 flat, I am hoping my high SAT score will help me out a bit (2300) , and my EC’s. That is… For applying for a collage if ANY will even think about letting me in compared to the super smart people.</p>
<p>
I was having metal problem’s holding myself together, really was depressed. Finally the factors in my life that were causing the issue disappeared before my Junior year, hence the upward trend.</p>
<p>Let me make this clear, I dont want an easy way out… I just dont want to waste my life doing nothing but working at Mc.Donalds, I want to go somewhere, not a community collage if I dont have too.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>True, but you have no idea what the OP’s life is like (what type of school they go to, home life, things they’ve had to deal with) so you really have no right to judge. I like to think that HSL is a place where we can offer advice to people who ask for it.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, to boost your GPA there isn’t really much you can do. You had an absolutely fantastic junior year, and the best you can do now is keep it up. Hopefully colleges will recognize your upward trend as a positive thing, and not a negative.</p>
<p>@bijan; I don’t know if you can make a 3.0 in a semester, but you can at least make that by the end of the year if you get at least a 3.6. You seem to be a very bright student so I can’t imagine that will be a problem.</p>
<p>As for the reason why, make sure you explain that on your applications, and also maybe have a guidance counselor/doctor help you explain as well.</p>
<p>OP … you can’t change the past however you can take of the future … which your junior year GPA indicates you have already done.</p>
<p>First, about changing the grade. No one on this web site can tell you what your school allows … call your guidance counselor and ask them your school’s policy.</p>
<p>Second, assuming you keep your grades up at a high level as a senior … do not apply early to any tough admission schools … wait so they will see your senior fall grades. In addition, if you were my child I’d suggest you consider taking a gap year and then applying … then your whole senior year grades would be considered when you apply. (not sure what level school to which you aspire but for any where grades will be an issue the more excellent grades on your transcript the better).</p>
<p>(PS - I did a similar thing as an undergrad … has a 2.5 after my sophomore year and got it up to a 3.0 by the time time I graduated … and with that 3.0 got into a top grad school in my field … the school obviously focused on my junior and senior grades).</p>
<p>Thanks for the tips guys, I really appreciate it instead of the “Too late” attitude I was getting.</p>

<p>Wow, can you not be so rude?</p>
<p>He’s rude and not even in high school yet, so I generally ignore him.</p>
