Messed up Sophmore Year

<p>Hi guys i messed up the 1st semester of my sophmore year.
My GPA is 3.0 weighted unweighted its a 2.8.
If i do good 2nd semester and Junior year will it be cool?
Oh and i got a D in German 3, talked to my councilor and she says that if i get a B this year it would cancel the D is this true?</p>

<p>I royally screwed up my first semester of Junior year, a much more important time in your highschool career (I got two Cs and a ton of barely there Bs), and I got accepted into an Ivy League. </p>

<p>It honestly depends why you screwed up. I screwed up because I have a heart condition, and you could say I suffered a very minor version of PTSD from a month long hospitalization in the ICU my freshman year. I had a very hard time dealing with it, and once I got counseling my grades rose significantly. I wrote about it in the additional comments section and I talked about it during my interview.</p>

<p>Did your grades fall because you were out with friends or because something is going on at home? But, honestly, as long as you just try harder next semester you should be fine. Things happen. Sophomore year is not that important. Colleges like to see improvement.</p>

<p>I messed up because the class structure was new to me and I guess I was having a hard time paying attention. I am really trying hard to get straight A’s this semester. And I had a quick bout with depression and so forth. So do I still have a chance at UCSD?</p>
