<p>Honors Chem: 86%
Honors Spanish II: 93% (just a couple of stupid mistakes, it'll go back up)
Honors World History: 97%
Honors English II: 98%
Theology (academic class; required)): 97%
Psychology (elective): 90%
Geometry (my only regular class): 78% ...and you can see why...</p>
<p>I just don't get why I can't do Geometry...I mean I had a C for my first semester, and now I'm struggling to get it up to a B. Last year I had a 3.4 GPA because I slacked off all the time and didn't do the work. As of now, with my two GPA's combined, I have around a 3.55 cumulative, which is annoying. I'm so much better at Algebra so I know that I'll have straight A's next year and the year after... But I'm still worried. I'm just a sophomore I know, but it still worries me...my grades and all. I'm so much better with Humanities and playing with words/languages, as you can see from my grades in those classes. It's math and science that kills me every time. </p>
<p>I mean I know that I'm probably not getting into an Ivy League school, and I'm ok with that, because I can't afford them anyway. But what about Stony Brook? Are my grades good enough to get into that school? Turns out, if I do make straight A's from now on, I'll have a 3.7ish GPA, more or less. What schools should I start looking at?</p>
<p>I'm soooo worried... Please someone help me out! Thanks!</p>
<p>You’ll be fine. Correct me if I’m wrong, but my friends from Long Island have always given me the impression that Stony Brook was much stronger in the sciences than in liberal arts. If I were you, I’d definitely think about some liberal arts colleges that will be better in your area of strength, and don’t forget you can get financial aid to help pay. Just keep studying I guess haha. You’ll also probably have a better idea of where you might be able to get into school once you take the PSATs</p>
<p>Sophomore year is sooo not too early to worry. Colleges look back to freshman year. You could probably get into most state schools in your own state, they like in-state recruits. Tip for learning geo: I struggled so much with memorizing theorems, but I learned that my teacher let me write a summary/title of the theorem, which was way easier than thm. 2.4, etc.</p>
<p>There’s no way in hell that I’m staying in Florida, lol. I want to go to New England or New York and go to a state university, such as CUNY/SUNY or UMass or something like that. I have some pretty awesome extra curriculars, such as National Geographic SE’s, and winning a few national essay contests.</p>
<p>the quarter ends in like 3 weeks. I have 1 notebook check, 1 concept evaluation, 1 test, and 2 quizzes to get my grade up to an 80% or i’m screwed. then I’ll have two C’s. yayyyy</p>
<p>I’m almost at an A in chem., and I have a test tomorrow. :(…but she still has to put the labs and extra-credit in so…who knows…</p>
<p>i remember taking geometry last year. it was a pain…i struggle both semesters but manage to pull a high B both times. My advice on tackling geometry is practice and re-read ur math course book. plus go online because there are websites that give clear and simple ways how to solve the problems. For chemistry, you can go to your teacher or a student who has an A in that class to tutor u. Good Luck :)</p>
