Junior here who needs a little guidance!

<p>Hey everyone, I'm a junior in the IB program and it's just getting a little tough now. I'm losing motivation. My GPA is a 3.71 right now and I'm desperately trying to raise it to at least a 3.8 by the end of the year. Spanish is a killer, so I'm just trying to get a B in that area. </p>

<p>I'm looking at schools like Notre Dame, Emory, and Berkely. Do you guys think a 3.7 or 3.8 is a decent GPA to get into? (With mediocre ECs, SAT scores).</p>

<p>Keep working at it and your grades/stats will reflect your effort. To help with the motivation, post pictures of the schools you want to attend in your room or something to keep you motivated (it works for me!). Take walks, do whatever to keep the stress levels down. I hope this helps… good luck!</p>
