I really messed up my first semester and I have a 3.3 GPA as of now because I got 2 C+'s. If i bring those C’s up, my gap for the year should be a 3.5. How badly will that drag me down in the future? I really want to to to NYU, that’s my dream school, but I’m honestly so scared that this first semester is going to make that goal completely impossible for me. Please give me tips on what else I can to do better my chances of getting into NYU or a University of the caliber.
Its definitely possible, I got 2 C+'s AND 2 B’s my second semester of freshman year and got into NYU caliber universities.
Just buckle down from now on and try to do the best you can (all A’s) and colleges will see the upward trend and reward you for it.
