Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>So, I'm a ninth-grader, and I was extremely disappointed with my grades this year. Be honest with me... how bad are they? I'm not planning on applying to top schools or anything, but I would like to get into a decent college. Here are my 1st semester grades (2nd semester didn't end yet).</p>

<p>-Honors English 9 (B-)
-Honors History 9 (C)
-Geometry (C+)
-Biology (A-)
-French II (A)
-Music elective (A-)
-Advisory (B+)
-Phys. Ed (A-)</p>

<p>GPA: 3.21</p>

<p>7/10. </p>

<p>At least you got an A in french, I never managed to get more than a C-B- for the last 3 years of high school</p>

<p>they aren’t horrible, but you gotta step it up a bit. I know dude, i had a 3.4 and its like nothing compared to some of the people here. i just finished sophmore year. I gotta step up too.</p>

<p>They aren’t bad</p>

<p>Just step up your game.</p>

<p>They’re completely fine, depending on what colleges you’re looking at, and you probably don’t even really know that since you’re a ninth grader- so let me just say broadly that most colleges will like these grades, and they won’t rule you out from a super selective college if you get your grades up to As and high Bs for the rest of high school, so if you can just focus on bringing your grades up a bit next year. Good luck!! :)</p>

<p>Bring your grades up to straight A’s the rest of HS and your freshman year won’t matter</p>

<p>Since you have time, STUDY and get the best grades you can rather than agonizing over this or any other website. Your grades are fine in helping you get into many good/great schools. The web can be a terrible time-waster.</p>

<p>Well most colleges dont consider Freshman grades, just sophmore and Junior. Maybe you need to work on time management. Try to be more prepared next year</p>

<p>My friend got A c junior year and wasted all his time going on the internet and looking at “Can you go to Ivies with a C,” threads on websites.</p>

<p>While he wasn’t doing that he was eating/facebooking his depression away.</p>

<p>He wasted 4 months doing this when he could have built up a more solid Transcript.</p>

<p>You have four A’s and only 2 C’s. You’ll be able to get into a decent college. Since you’re a freshman, this is a chance to start fresh. If you continually improve each year, colleges will like that. They prefer to see an upward trend.</p>

<p>I had C+, C+, B, B, A-, A- freshman year and my college offered me a scholarship.</p>

<p>The trick is to steadily improve your grades as you progress and to try to take rigorous courses.</p>
