Hi! I’m currently a sophomore in high school. I’m looking to go into business for my major. So far, my cumulative gpa is a 4.0556 (weighted), 4.0 (unweighted) (4.0 freshman year, 4.1 first semester sophomore year). So far in my sophomore year, I have gotten all As but my honors bio grade for second semester is very borderline right now (90.1%), and I’m very worried- I have never received a b. I am very interested in the following schools and I would aprreciate feedback on which are possible with the track I’m on now. (what if I got a b in bio even though planning on business major?) Thanks!!

  1. California Berkeley
  2. UCLA
  3. University of Michigan (I get in-state tuition here)
  4. Indiana

I’m a big fan of the UCs, but if Michigan is in-state for you, make that your #1 choice. Not sure how it would be for an OOS student, but I believe those 2 UCs admit students with an average of 18-20 semesters of AP courses.

I think you are doing superb, even with that presumed B! One B is not the end of the world. My daughter with a B in calculus ended up in UCLA with a Regents scholarship last year. Even with 2 Bs you should be fine for those above schools (as a matter of fact for any school on this planet!). Have confidence and keep up the good work!

You should be fine for 3 and 4. The last 2 are very unpredictable because they get a lot of qualified applicants every year.
