<p>Basically, I screwed up Sophomore and now I want to raise my GPA/have an upward trend by (hopefully) getting straight As Junior year.</p>

<p>I am taking:
AP Lang and Comp
APUSH
FST (functions, statistics and trig)
Psychology (and self studying for the AP)
Physics
Robotics (it's a class centered on FIRST robotics but all I work on is chairman's read:"business")</p>

<p>My ECs are:
President of Red Cross club
President of Science team (we do competitions like science olympiad, ocean bowl, bio olympiad...)
Editor of Science Journal
Secretay of robotics team
volunteering at children's grief center
practicing the viola
~On a normal week they should take about 11 hrs all together</p>

<p>IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET STRAIGHT As WHILE DOING THESE????</p>

<p>Some people do. Since my crystal ball isn’t working and I can’t read your palm, how am I to answer the question for you?</p>

<p>Sacrifice a virgin to the devil…?</p>

<p>Depends on how much work you put in and how difficult the classes are, but I’d say it’s a reasonable goal.</p>

<p>What was your GPA in sophomore year?</p>

<p>Yeah, people do it. But your question is can YOU do it, and no one here can answer that–you need to think about what you did last year and what you’re planning this year, and ask yourself how much you can improve.</p>

<p>listen to ray lewis’ motivational speech on youtube and you’re good to go…</p>

<p>It’s all down to how you manage your time and how much effort you put into your academics while being a part of those ECs.</p>

<p>Time management! While I can’t say how well you personally will do, time management will never hurt anyone. If you’ve got Chrome, download StayFocusd. It’s a free app that’ll prevent you from staying on distracting websites for more than a set amount of time. Helped me a ton in junior year!</p>

<p>You can do whatever you put your mind to. Seriously.</p>

<p>Honestly, it all depends on work ethic. I got straight A’s in junior year with 4 AP classes and 2 honors classes. I worked at a restaurant on most Friday/Saturday nights (sometimes even during the week), played a varsity sport, had band, practiced my instrument, had a job as a freelance journalist, volunteered at a nursing home, taught middle schoolers, and other stuff. You obviously won’t be getting a luxurious 8 hours of sleep every night but as long as you don’t marry Netflix or get lazy, I’m sure you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>By the way, the AP psychology exam is a breeze. I got a 5 by self-studying/cramming for only the weekend before bahaha.</p>
