<p>Sorry. I'm freaking out because it looks like I'm going to have a 3.45, not a 3.5, at the end of this semester, and I know it may not make a huge difference, but it just doesn't look as solid (not that a 3.5 is that solid anyway). Oh, God. The schools I'm looking at are all reaches anyway (Gallatin at NYU, Barnard, UChicago, Georgetown, UPenn). HELP.</p>

<p>Thoughts would be great. But mainly I'm getting this out of my system. If I hadn't freaking taken physics, upper level econ, and chemistry when I didn't need to, I'd have a 3.7-3.8. DAMMIT. Why was I so stupid?</p>

<p>Don't you think the admissions officers will know that? The fact that you're challenging yourself at Boulder (right?) is good. Hope for the best...a 3.45 in mainly upper-level courses is still solid.</p>

<p>take one easy class to brign it up by 0.05</p>

<p>Thanks for the encouragement. I wish I could finish my second sophomore semester before I apply. Hell, maybe I should take a year off and do that...I could have a 3.6 something by then.</p>

<p>I feel you... Chinese is really doing a number on me.</p>

<p>Just do your best. Adcom's will take into consideration the difficulty of your courses.</p>

<p>I'd take your GPA and those classes than a 4.0 with easy classes, it's not that bad don't stress out so much</p>
