Pretty much, my GPA has been up and down since freshman year.
Freshman:
1st Sem: 3.5
2nd Sem: 3.86
Sophomore:
1st Sem: 3.0
2nd Sem : 3.57
I messed up pretty hard sophomore year, and I took:
2nd Sem
Spanish 3 A
Chemistry A
AP Seminar A
Honors English A
Algebra 2 B
Geometry B
AP World B
Is it worth retaking a semester of some of my B’s online over summer to get them to A’s, to boost my GPA? My GPA is really terrible, and I know sophomore year is one of the most important years in highschool.
It would actually help a lot of retake it! Colleges would like to see you improve yourself and by retaking it shows initiative, plus you boost your GPA so there’s nothing to loose really.
Your hs allows this? Ours wouldn’t.
That’s a lot of stress and work on your part, and it won’t matter so much in the grand scheme of things. Retaking a course just to boost it up one letter grade seems really petty and it won’t make your application look any better (maybe even worse). A’s and B’s are perfectly fine grades; don’t be so hard on yourself. Just keep your grades and junior and senior year and you’ll be fine.
