Is my GPA bad....????

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I'm a sophomore in HS and we got report cards last week. My gpa is a 2.7 unweighted for this year so far and a 3.0 unweighted cumulative</p>

<p>I think thats terrible.</p>

<p>Honestly, I slacked off MAJORLY last year. I don't know why i wasnt focused on getting good grades, I just figured that I'll be ok. Wasnt even thinking about future and did minimal. I got a bunch of c's (no D's thankfully) </p>

<p>This year i have 2 C's, 1 A, and 3 B's</p>

<p>I am taking an AP world history class and thats taking a lot of my time. I am trying my best though and actually working hard this year. </p>

<p>So is there a chance to still bring my gpa up maybe to a 3.7+ in like the years I have left of HS? </p>

<p>Somebody please give me advice</p>

<p>not possible, 2+4+4+4/4 =3.5
Edit, yes you must get all A’s take courses online, take courses over the summer.</p>

3

<p>So in order to get a 3.7+, I would need to get straight A’s from now on AND take extra classes over the summer online? How would the online classes help me? I’m a little confused</p>

4

<p>Because they’re extra. Meaning every other class counts less. If the bad stuff counts for 1/5 of your grade instead of 1/4 it will be higher.</p>

5

<p>To simplify this, I’m going to pretend you’ve gotten a B every quarter in every class you’ve ever taken and that you have 10 credits so far (8 credits per year, times 1.25 years) because taking 8 one-credit courses per year is standard. That would also result in a 3.0 unweighted cumulative GPA after 1.25 years. </p>

<p>If you take eight one-credit courses every year for the rest of high school and get straight As every quarter, you’ll end up with an unweighted cumulative GPA of </p>

<p>[3(10)+4(22) / 32] = 3.6875</p>

<p>at the end of your senior year.</p>

<p>At the end of your junior year, your UW cumulative GPA would be </p>

<p>[3(10)+4(14)] / 24 = 3.583</p>

<p>Do quarter grades factor into your GPA?</p>

7

<p>not for me. Only semester grades go into my transcript.</p>

8

<p>Apparently the OP already has a GPA for the year, so in this case they must?</p>

9

<p>I think OP was refering to what his current GPA is from first quarter grades.</p>

10

<p>Yeah this is my FIRST quarter grade. And only semester grades go into transcripts. So do i stikl have a chance to bring the gpa up? Like maybe to a 3.7+?</p>
