<p>Im a Sophmore attending one of the top 10 public High Schools in the U.S. (in 2004 according to US news magazine), Mercer Island High (doubt you've heard of it). Lately my grades have been slipping as summer neared. Freshman yeah i got a 3.4 GPA, i was ok with that because I understood colleges don't examine freshman year. This year its gotten worse. I dont know if I should blame my lazy study habits or the 3 Honors Classes i'm taking. Here is my schedule:
Physics/Chemistry 2nd year Honors
World History
Percussion
Spanish 3rd year Honors
Biology
English 10 Honors
Algebra 2 </p>
<p>I understand this could mean nothing to you but my grades have slipped to a 3.0 ~ 2.9. Next year, the year schools really look at, i have an easier schedule with 2 AP classes and an Honors, but they should be easier. I'm really looking at the UC school system, UCB my #1, UCLA #2, UCSB #3, but i live in Washington and only 5% of out of state residents get into most of those schools. I am extreamly active extra curricular wise, year round sports including waterpolo state champion, went to District finals in Track, i do boy scouts (its almost embarrising to say, im 16). Any way, any feed back would be apprieciated. Thanks! (this website is great)</p>
