<p>In 9th grade I finished with a core class unweighted gpa of about 2.2 and in 10th grade I'm not finish yet but I'm projected to finish at a little less than 2.0. (not counting - and +)</p>
<p>9th Grade I took (estimated percentages) Honors US History-62% English Prep-75%, Honors Earth and Space 76% Alg1 Prep-89% and Spanish I-84%</p>
<p>This year I took AP Human-79%, Honors Alg2-70%, Honors Geometry-78%, Honors Bio-63%,Prep English-68% and Spanish II-72%</p>
<p>Next year I'm planning on taking AP Physiology and AP European Studies, Honors PreCalc, Prep Chemestry Spanish III and Prep English. If I buckle down and finish Junior and Senior year with at least a 3.5 core classes in both years will I get into a decent school? Also I really want to try and get a d1 or d2 scholarship for track and field which is a minimum of a 2.3 for 2016 and up plus the ACT and SAT scores(I graduate in 2016). </p>
<p>Hmm, while my honest opinion is that your initial GPA is just too low, definitely, but ask your counselor for his/her better opinion. You did take a lot of H/AP classes, though. not sure why :-</p>
<p>But anyways my answer is more or less you’ll be pretty okay, and also ask your counselor.</p>
<p>It’s good to be concerned and to plan to do better, and I agree your counselor can help you a lot better than we can. Now what plans have you made for making the changes that will take you from a 2.0 to a 3.5? what about your effort is going to change to make this happen? how will you change how you study? You need a plan, and speaking to your counselor about this can help. Also start to hang with the students getting 3.5s and develop the habits that they have. Some of the students with 3.5s will get their effortlessly. That’s not you, so find the kids who are busting their butts to get 3.5s and study with them. Studies show that students who study together on average do better than students who work alone. Good habits are key to high school and college success. IF you turn it around, address that turn around at some point in your essay–not what you were doing wrong but how you turned it around.</p>
<p>Remember, you always have the option of community college and transfer into a highly regarded 4 year college, such as UC Berkeley. This gives you the chance to start again with a clean slate.</p>
<p>Also remember, college isn’t the end of your life. If you manage to get from community college to UCB, and graduate. Whatever happens next depends more on the student than the institution.</p>
