<p>my weighted gpa is a low 4.1 and I'm racked 14th in my class as a result of 4 Bs/B+s last year :/ and I got a B in math freshman year so 5 b's... I'm guessing my unweighted is a 3.6 but I'm not sure.. I have taken nearly all honors or advanced courses since freshman year and I have already taken APLAC as a sophomore and got a 4. I haven't taken the sat's or psats ( this saturday omg) so I don't know my score but I am aiming for a 2200 and above.. I am also VP for FBLA community service, features editor of our school newspaper, and I formed a human rights club at our school. But I am really afraid my HORRIBLE SOPHOMORE YEAR will ruin my chances of getting into NU... or any good school for that matter :/ Is all hope lost for me already or is there still some hope? If so what should i work on?!
On the bright side: junior year seems to be going well and I will aim at straight A's definitely this year..
Junior course load: APCALC, APES,APUSH, and APGOV</p>
<p>You’re doing fine. Just keep going hard. Not every person accepted into a top school had an UW 4.0 (although it probably was close…)
Keep taking challenging courses, and just do well! :)</p>
<p>Good luck</p>
<p>Wait a minute, did you exhaust your school’s English curriculum, or did you not list your English class.</p>
<p>-------------------------------------------If it is to be, it is up to me…</p>
<p>How the hell are you 14 with a 3.6? I’m 23 with a 3.8…</p>
<p>^Different schools do GPA and ranking differently. Also, 14th out of say 200 students may not necessarily be “higher” than 23rd out of say 500 students.</p>
<p>Apply ED unless you need finaid.</p>
<p>btw: I hope you are taking more courses this year than you listed, two of which are so-called AP Lites (Enviro & Gov). Is the Calc AB or BC? (If the former, it too is an AP Lite.)</p>
