is there anyway a person with a bad junior year can get accepted into a good college?

<p>i got a D+ in ap calculus AB and a C in ap us history and ap stats all in my junior year. now i have an explanation for this screwed up junior year, but my freshman/sophomore year grades were great. i currently have a 3.4 UW unweighted GPA and a 3.9 W GPA, along with a 1940/2400 or 1290/1600 SAT score. is there ANYTHING i can do to get into schools like southern cal, florida and boston u?</p>

<p>Have your guidance councilor write a letter explaining why your grades were so low junior year?</p>

<p>but how much would that acutally help??</p>
