<p>Hello! I would normally not post things like this but I'm really desperate. My second semester grades for junior year came out and I did poorly. This changes my (and my parents) view for the colleges I was planing to apply to so I was wondering if anyone out there on CC could help me and tell me an objective view. So here are my gpa(unweighted/weighted)/ecs. I took the highest classes possible at my school. All my classes besides spanish 2 were honors/AP classes. </p>
<p>Freshmen Grades:3.62/3.92
Sophmore Grades:3.77/4.25
Junior Grades:3.25/3.91
Overall: 3.53/4.04
ACT:31(English=34 Math=30 Reading=30 Science=27)
Im planning to take the ACT about two more times to get my score up to 32-34
ECs:
Student Council Treasurer; NHS Treasurer; First Class Executive Board Member; Varsity Swimmer; Varsity Water Polo; 100+ hours of community service; Cougar Guard( teach swimming and lifeguarding)</p>
<p>As you can see I was on an upward trend untill junior year. Will colleges consider the drop in my junior grades as a big factor? Since my grades were not up to par this year I really should reconsider my colleges choices. My family cannot afford to send me to a lot of these schools without hefty financial aid/ scholarships. The colleges I wanted to apply to are
-URochester
-University of Wisconsin- Madison
-Boston University
-NYU
-Loyola University- Chicago
-Fordham University
-Purdue University
-Illinois Weslyn</p>
<p>I wanted to major in Pychology/ pre-Med track. Now my parents want me to change what I want to do in college. </p>
<p>Thanks very much. If you have any other suggestions on colleges similar to my list that might be easier to get a lot of financial aid/scholarships please feel to list them!</p>
