I was stupid! My GPA

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I was stupid freshman and sophmore year. REALLY REALLY STUPID. And I think I totally screwed myself over, can someone helllppp me?</p>

<p>Freshman Year GPA: 3.0
Sophmore Year GPA: 3.5
Junior Year GPA (currently) : 4.0
SAT Score: 2370</p>

<p>EC: Piano, Art, Violin, total of 270 hours of volunteering, FBLA, JSA</p>

<p>I've been consistent in Piano, Art, and Violin for 9 years and I take a lot of AP and Honors courses through out freshman, sophmore and Junior year. Am I screwed cause I messed up my GPA during the first 2 years of highschool?! What colleges would accept me now?</p>

2

<p>it depends. there are like 4000 schools. narrow down a bit</p>

3

<p>it's really sad to see that more threads have negative titles.</p>

4

<p>Fine, my new title shall be "o-m-g, everyone party cause i have a low GPA".</p>

5

<p>how wud colleges like duke brown and hyp view that type of improvement?
well given high ecs and sats etc...idk ask someone really good..</p>

<p>A 3.5 GPA isn't so bad (assuming you took all honors and AP courses), and with your SATs, it won't cut too many schools out of your reach.</p>

<p>I need the help of an asian person...</p>

<p>Ok. I'll give you a much more pessimistic answer: 3.5 IS HORRIBLE! IT COULD CUT YOU OUT OF IVY LEAGUE COLLEGES...YOU MIGHT NOT EVEN GET INTO STANFORD! YOU ARE A FAILURE OF A CHILD!</p>

<p>Is that better?</p>

<p>I'm not Asian, but I believe Stanford and Princeton do not consider freshman year grades. Then your GPA would be 3.75, which isn't fabulous but you'll have a good shot at them. University of Michigan also doesn't include freshman year. I believe that would be a safety for you, depending on what your Michigan GPA is.</p>

<p>Just what I was looking for</p>

11

<p>Jeez. Give me a break. You know, colleges don't like pessimistic people.</p>

12

<p>well. at least it shows that you're improving every year;)</p>

13

<p>Sigh, i dunno, it's sorta really hard to be optimistic when everyone around you seems to have perfect A's</p>

14

<p>Well, Stanford/Princeton not calculating freshmeny year will significantly help you.</p>

<p>youd have slightly below gpa but above average sat</p>

<p>so i guess its up to your ec and essays</p>

15

<p>i should hope so. I REALLY need to get into a pretty good college. Or my Asian parents will skin me. :]</p>

16

<p>Whats up with the whole "asian" deal?</p>

17

<p>obviously your not asian, so therefore you won't understand.</p>

18

<p>All Asian parents are the same when it comes to school.</p>

<p>Especially Korean ones XD.</p>

<p>alright im in freshman year of high school and my job occupied me so much first semester i didnt get all my homework done and therefore finished with Two A's, And 4 C's
(it would have been B's but the finals came and knocked all my B's down)</p>

<p>I really wanna study architecture at cal poly slo.
and i was just woundering what GPA am i gonna need, SAT score, etc.</p>

<p>im thinking im gonna go to a community college and then transfer but as of now since i got scared ****less about my grades last semester (my parents went crazy) i now have all A's</p>

<p>but apparently colleges dont look at freshman year
PLEASE SAY THATS TRUE!!!!</p>
