I feel like I have screwed myself out of a good university.

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Can someone please help me? I feel like I just messed up the 1st semester of my junior year </p>

<p>Geometry-B
French II-D or C (Final has not gone in yet)
AP Physics-B
APUSH-B
Honors English 11-C
AP Bio-A
AP Psych-C</p>

<p>At best my GPA for this semester will either be 2.71 or 2.57 depending on what my grade is in french II. this would bring my HS GPA to either 3.27 or 3.34. Assuming for the rest of my HS career I get all A's, by the time I am a senior the best I can get is a lowly 3.51. I do know though that my schedule could be considered rigorous, would that be taken into consideration? I also plan on taking more AP classes next year.</p>

<p>On top of that, my ECs are kind of weak, not necessarily in quality but quantity:
-I work at a grocery store
- I will be doing Volunteer work in Costa Rica this summer: helping school children, planting trees, and protecting newly hatched sea turtles from predators.
-Environmental club for 1 semester
I do intend on joining a sport next year, and maybe one more club.</p>

<p>I've yet to take the ACT, but my projected score was 28-32, which is pretty good.</p>

<p>For a long time, my dream colleges have been:
-University of Washington
-University of Colorado, Boulder
-Arizona State University
-Boston University
-UCLA (I always knew this one was a stretch due to OOS, but now more so than ever)
-University of Oregon</p>

<p>What do you guys think, is it possible to get into these schools with my projected stats? If you would, please maybe make a few more suggestions for schools that fit if these don't quite fit me.</p>

<p>What is your financial situation? Mostly public schools on your list, and you will obviously be out of state for most of them, which is more expensive. What do you want to major in? What is your home state?</p>

<p>Yes, ask your parents how much they’d pay each year. If they won’t pay for those OOS schools, then your GPA issue is moot.</p>

The op had this: " I will be doing Volunteer work in Costa Rica this summer". These overseas jaunts are usually a marker of parents with plenty to spend, so the OP ought to look for privates that favor kids that pay full-freight.</p>

<p>@Mikemac My parents are actually considered poor, I will be paying for this by myself (I saved up all the money myself).</p>
