At the end of my junior year of high school I have a 2.9 GPA and I need to have a 3.0 to qualify for scholarships. How do I use my senior year first semester gpa if the application deadline is December 15. Can I take the first year off? Can I apply for the spring semester?
apply to schools with Jan 1 or later regular decision deadlines, as well as schools with early decision 2 deadlines in January…
If you take some summer classes, will they count, and perhaps give you the boost you need?
Or you can apply to non-GPA-based scholarships. There are some that use ACT or SAT test scores, or they judge an essay that you write. Those would be scholarships provided by companies and community organizations, though, not by the colleges themselves.
