<p>Hi guys!
I'm a sophomore in high school and I failed honors algebra 2 last year and I will most likely fail honors pre-calculus this year. My unweighted cumulative GPA is 69% as of the 3rd marking period this year. I took Honors English, World History, Algebra 2, Biology, Honors Spanish 3( I did really well in History and Spanish- high A's)and Orchestra and Chorus freshman year. This year I took AP Microeconomics and AP US Government, Honors Pre-Calculus, and College Prep(a level below honors and AP) English and Chemistry, and IB Spanish I. All though these numbers are horrific I have adhd, and anxiety and it's at it's peak right now. This means that I have an extreme difficulty with completing homework and I blank out on tests. I know the everything in class very well, in fact my teachers find it so frustrating that I don't have good grades because I understand and know the material better than most students. I don't mean to brag, but I am smart, in fact teachers though that I would be valedictorian in high school back in 8th grade (I was an excellent student back then) and I am a very creative in many ways. I also have a charitable organization that creates and sells shirts and gives all the profit to charities. For extra curricular activities I have played soccer for 11 years now and I was on the JV soccer team last year, I play the piano, and dance. I am the first freshman key club officer in my school, I am an officer for FBLA, United Way, and I am a part of a Mini-THON committee in my school (THON is a student run philanthropy that raises money over $13 million for pediatric cancer). I would really appreciate any advice on how to improve and I know that I probably have no chance of getting into NYU, I still would like your opinion.
Thanks!</p>
Is there any possiblity for me to get into NYU? Any advice on what I should do? I NEED HELP PLEASE!!
<p>Considering your GPA, getting into NYU will be difficult. What you should focus on for the rest of HS is your GPA (if the anxiety and everything is messing with your life, you should probably talk to a therapist/ someone if you already aren’t), and making sure that you keep up with your clubs. Since you’re smart, you should be able to do well in these classes, so try to figure out (and hopefully fix) whatever is holding you back! Also, you should try to talk with your teachers about how you can boost your grades and get as close to a 90% GPA by college app time as possible. </p>
<p>Thanks! I really appreciate your advice!</p>
