<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I am a Junior in High School right now almost finishing my first semester, and I've started looking at colleges.</p>
<p>I must be realistic with myself though. I am a smart guy, at least that's what everyone's been telling me. I'm taking all honors but my grades have been suffering for two years, like really suffering, as in Mostly B's, one C+, barely any A's. The workload is immense, I plan on changing it a bit, maybe drop a class. My time management skills have been a problem too which I've been trying to fix and that's why some of my grades have improved so far.</p>
<p>I'm from Wisconsin, and realistically I'm looking at public universities since my family won't be able to afford many private colleges. U Washington has been of great interest to me.</p>
<p>This is my first chance thread, so bear with me!</p>

<p>Freshman GPA: 3.7 unweighted- 3 Honors classes, two Accelerated (highest level offered but not Honors)
Sophomore GPA: ~3.0 unweighted (B average)- 2 Honors, 1 AP (Euro), 1 accelerated
Junior GPA: Looks like first semester will also be ~3.0 unweighted- 3 AP (History, Chem, Physics), 2 Honors (English/Math), and 1 accelerated
Senior GPA: Taking probably 4 AP's, 1 Honors, maybe another Honors.</p>
<p>Extra Curriculars:

Co Founder and Co-Vice President of Business Club
Leader of Model UN Delegation for 2 years (will be a third next year)
Swimming two years (didn't do it this year, will probably do it next year)</p>
<p>ACT: 29 (first time, never studied, 3 hours of sleep that night aha) planning to retake
SAT: Projected 1980 (198 on PSAT)</p>
<p>My main college interests:
UW-Madison (but don't really want to go there, Im just from Wisconsin)

<p>I'm just really worried my freakin' GPA will ruin my chances at a great university.
Thanks!</p>
