<p>Hi,
so its my junior year and Im freaking out. My gpa has gone down. I went from a 3.6 gpa last year to a 3.1ish
for instance, last year I got As in History and English and now I have B-s, math fell from a solid B to B-, and my science grade stayed the same (solid B)</p>
<p>Im really worried because I wanted to do really well this year and bring my gpa up but instead it went DOWN and I know colleges don't like to see junior year grades go down so I know this is bad.</p>
<p>But i also took up the IB program so would they be more understanding about the grade drop?
Freshman and Sophomore year I was in two honors classes (english and history) and my other classes were advanced. (a step down from honors, a step up from standard level)</p>
<p>and this year I stepped up my classes by enrolling in IB.
so will colleges be more understanding of my bad grades? I really am working as hard as I can</p>
<p>btw the schools im interested in applying to is Florida State University, University of Florida, University of Central Florida, Penn State, Uconn, and University of Delaware</p>
<p>my first SAT score was a 1750 (with no studying) so im retaking it in may or june. I really want to 2100 or higher.</p>
<p>Im also taking three AP tests in May.</p>
<p>Currently my overall UW gpa is around a 3.2 i think.. and last time i checked weighted it was a 4.1 but that was before IB so maybe it is a little higher..</p>
<p>my Florida gpa (FL states recalculate gpa for admission) for freshman and sophomore year was around a 3.6-3.8 cant remember. But for this year it is around a 4.1 so it brings up my gpa a little bit.
anyways can someone give me some reassurance? or advice on how to deal with this? I really am working as hard as I can
plus chances on the schools I listed above.
Thanks!</p>
