Colleges and Universities A-Z Barnard College

<p>Okay, I’m a sophmore at Hunter College High School, which is this amazingly prestigious high school in NYC, and I was wondering, how high do I need to raise my GPA to get into Barnard?</p>

<p>My high school is from 7th-12th grade, so 8th grade is like 9th grade for us, and 9th grade is like 10th grade for us, and so on and so forth.</p>

<p>8th Grade:
Uh, I can’t remember that far back, but it was mostly B’s, with a couple of A’s (Math A+, Science A-, and Art A+, I believe) and a C in Spanish.</p>

<p>9th Grade:
English II: A-
Math II: A+
Biology: A-
Global Studies: B+
Art II (Semester Course): A+
Spanish II: B-
Physical Ed: B-</p>

<p>10th Grade: (So Far)
English III: A-
Math III: A+
Chemistry: A+
Global Studies: B+
Physical Ed: A-
Art III (Semester Course): Grade Unavailable Yet, Most likely in A range
Spanish III: C+</p>

<p>PSAT Scores: 208/240</p>

<p>As you can see, spanish (and freshman year) is lowering my GPA painfully. </p>

<p>But as I stand now, and if I continue like this junior/senior year, do I stand a chance?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>my freshman year grades SUCKED. My eighth grade classes that counted for high school, even worse. However, I had a great grade trend (I had all A's by senior year)....just work on your trend, don't necessarily focus on how high you have to get your GPA.</p>

<p>you sound like you're doing fine. barnard does not have a gpa cutoff. i had a d on my transcript but was still admitted because i was very strong in other areas. just make sure you stand out to them as very creative and determined.</p>
