Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am freshmen in College (Community College). I want to transfer to a 4-year University for next year. I graduated HS at the end of junior year. The reason I am in a CC and the reason I graduated HS early is because I REALLY messed up my GPA in 10th grade (because of stupid decisions and some family issues) but I still wanted to go to a good University, so I went to CC first so they would not look at/care about my HS grades. </p>

<p>Academics</p>

<p>9th Grade
-GPA: 3.6
-All honor classes no AP
-Did football, no other extras</p>

<p>10th Grade
- GPA: 2.6 (THIS IS WHERE I MESS UP)
- AP Government (The rest Honors)
- 4 on AP exam
- Programmer for Engineering Club</p>

<p>11th Grade
- GPA: 3.9
- AP Lang, AP World, AP Programming (The rest Honors)
- 5 on AP exam for Programming and World, 4 on AP exam for Lang
- Head of Programmer of Engineering Club
- Got the Cisco COMPTIA A+ Certificate

<p>Freshmen Community College
- GPA: 4.0 (So far and staying this way)

<p>Other
- I am white, from a middle class family.
- I went to regular public school in Maryland (In one of the best Counties in the US)
- I go to one of the best Community Colleges in my state (Which does not mean much)
- I did about 100 hours of public service.</p>

<p>These are the Universities I want to know my chances for. I know I really screwed up sophomore year and I take full responsibility for my grades but I AM REALLY eager to learn at a good university. In my opinion my chances are pretty low for some of these but I hope I am wrong. Any advice you might have would be great and thanks a lot for the help.</p>

<p>Even though you let your grades slip in 10th grade a 2.6 gpa for that really isnt THAT bad. It wont really effect your chances that much! The rest of your academics are excellent so that will really work in your favor! I also think it would be a good idea to put your all into the entrance essays and even take that opportunity to explain some of the hardships you went through in 10th grade and how you worked hard to move past them!
Overall I believe that you have a great chance of getting into a 4 year university!
Dont worry, good luck!!
