High School Junior, 2090 SAT, 4.1weighted GPA

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I got an 2090 on the SAT
My weighted GPA for sophomore and junior year is 4.1 total, 3.45UW
Which I know is low, but my grades consistently improved, going from a 3.7 to 4.1 to 4.3 to 4.5
and my UW for 2nd semester junior year is 4.0</p>

<p>Will my poor performance sophomore year hurt me a lot when it comes to admissions? Or does the fact that it shows improvement lessen the blow?</p>

<p>For example, would love to go to USC, UCLA, UCSD, and UCB (obviously a reach)</p>

<p>Thanks for any input!</p>

<p>P.S. no sports, but president of a club and commissioner of another, plus tons of community service</p>

<p>Any suggestions?</p>

<p>you will have to keep in mind how difficult UC admissions were this year. unless you cure cancer from now until you apply they are all reaches, but assuming u live in SoCal (as do I) you would be much safer doing a 2-year transfer program at a CC.</p>

<p>regarding sophomore year, yes it will hurt you A LOT. most colleges ignore freshman year but not sophomore and the improvement thing only works for like only 2Bs freshman to only 1B sophomore no straight As junior and senior</p>
