<p>I was sick for the longest time during 4th quarter and my grades went completely down the toilet. I was on the way to making my grades better and almost got all A's, but then I got sick and well, my GPA is horrible now.
I had 5 A's last semester, 1 B and 1 C.
This semester I have 4 A's, 1 B and 1 C.
All my classes are honors/AP except for one that I finished 1st semester (health, it's required)</p>
<p>The classes I got a B and C in aren't related to what major I want to go in to.
Freshman year I got all A's.
The grades for the semesters I just listed are for sophomore year.</p>
<p>Now it says my weighted GPA is 4.34</p>
<p>Testing scores:
Sophomore PSAT: 240
Bio SAT: 760 (retaking because I haven't taken AP Bio yet)</p>
<p>ECs:

<p>What schools do I seem to fit into at the moment?</p>
<p>So far what are my chances of getting into Stanford, UCLA, UCSD, Harvard, Brown, Princeton, UChicago, and UPenn? PLEASE HELP CHANGE ME. I really want to get into these schools</p>
<p>I'm definitely getting straight A's all of junior and senior year because I'm actually going to be enrolled in classes that I enjoy. Is there a chance that they might overlook my terrible sophomore transcript? I know that I want to go into political science, and my bad grades were in math/science. And how much weight does the personal essay have?</p>
