I have 2 Cs and 3 Bs for my final grades currently, the two Cs are regular classes however. My GPA as of last year is a 3.2. I’ve never had such low grades, I’ve just really been so stressed with family stuff. Next year I’m taking 2-3 APs and playing sports throughout the year.
Anyways, I have about 2 weeks to finals. Do you think if I do well on all my quizzes and my finals that I can pull up a few of those grades to an A? I passed a test in math the other day and it raised my grade about 5 points…so I think maybe it’s mathematically possible.
My dream school is ASU or UofA and their minimum gpa is 3.0 so I can’t afford a big hit especially with junior year coming up.
If things are pilling up for you right now please take even 5 or 10 minutes for yourself. Make sure that your needs are met. I cannot ask you to tell me what is going on. I don’t have a clue. I cannot. It would be arrogant for me to claim I know what you need to do but you already know and that is probably stressing about it. Maybe you angry, sad or frustrated you feel that way or another way. No way is wrong or right and it is completely fine to be stressed or what ever emotion you are feeling. I wish someone told me that when I was in high school. I would recommend that you could talk to those of higher grades and ask what classes are not loaded down with as much homework.
When I was a junior I took honor history thinking ap would be harder but it ended up being far less busy work which I hate. That is why I recommend talking to those in the upper grades. Also ask to them about the teachers and how good they are. That will be an excellent way of choosing the ones correct for you.
Great you are choosing AP courses. Just be watchful and don’t worry about having to take honors or other courses related. I hated that senior year there were either ap or regular classes. I decided to take a college course though it was fun, it took up almost all my time.
