Is my low GPA going to affect my chances?

<p>I know the average ACT score is 30. But I know that my unweighted GPA is pretty low so I need to make up for it. I took it this month but felt very overwhelmed and unprepared. I got a 28./: Usually juniors take it in April. I will prepare for this one for sure and I now know how the test is so will feel less overwhelmed. Plus, I didn't get through 1/2 of Algebra 2/Trig yet and that was a good portion of the math.</p>

<p>Its junior year.</p>

<p>I have an unweighted GPA of 3.75.
My weighted GPA is high (4.80).
Top 2% of class <a href="its%20a%20big%20school%20lol">22/1,096</a>.</p>

<p>Always ALL Honors.
Sophomore year - 1 AP
Junior year - 4 AP
Senior year - Planning 3 AP</p>

<p>Junior year grades-
AP Biology - A
Honors Biology Lab - B [might get an A?]
AP Language - B
Honors Physics - A
Honors Trig/Algebra 2 - A
AP Psychology - A
AP Human Geography - A
Honors Precalculus [this summer] - A</p>

<p>I'm stressing about those Bs!</p>

<p>ACT - My school takes them in April but I took it early and got a 28. I obviously need to raise that by April.</p>

<p>I will be starting a Future Doctors of America club in my school!</p>

<p>Going to be in a JV/Varsity sport this spring for sure. If I don't get on through tryouts I will join Track/another sport that everyone gets on.</p>

<p>Fall of senior year I will be on JV/Varsity Tennis. I got on the Varsity team this year but worked so I couldn't.</p>

<p>The reason I'm not too involved in sports is because of clubs that take up a lot of time.</p>

<p>Work experience-
KMart
Hospital Busboy this summer!
Possibly some internship this summer?</p>

<p>This summer, I will be participating in a "College Readiness" program at Northwestern. You basically attend a class/live on campus/etc. and get college credit.</p>

<p>I will also plan a visit to Northwestern/other good Universities this summer.</p>

<p>You may actually have a shot. What were your ap scores? And you MUST get a 30 on the ACT.</p>

<p>I know, I take them in April officially. Thanks, I’m sooo scared.</p>
