Just...College

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I was just wondering about ...well everything. First I will give a breakdown on my own grades and a few accomplishments (not that much aha). I'm a junior. My freshman and sophomore GPA's were probably around 3.6. I really screwed up my first semester for this year and probably got a 3.0. I'd hate to blame other people but, I'm going to blame my guidance counselor. Anyways, my SAT score is maybe around 1700, haven't thought about ACT and got a 4 on my World History AP test. If it helps at all, I just became an Eagle Scout. My original goal was Stanford and Berkeley (Hah! Goals.....) Now I am thinking along the lines of USC, or Claremont colleges. I plan to do some summer programs to help me familiarize of all the options that the science/ medical fields have to offer. </p>

<p>I'd appreciate any input.
Thank you for your time.</p>

<p>You’ll have a hard time getting into USC/Claremont with that GPA. Do a bunch of practice ACT or SAT tests, prep now. If you’re really set on going to one of these schools you need amazing test scores to compensate for your GPA.</p>
