Hi, I’m new to this. I’m a rising sophmore and I’m beginning to I guess show interest is some colleges. I’ll start off by saying this year I had a 3.2 GPA. After moving to a new place this year it was hard for me to adjust and I had to deal with a couple of bad experiences at school. I’m normally a 4.0 student but this year I sadly wasn’t. That being said, I’ll give some “stats”

That being said, I’m dedicated to that 4.0. It’s normally something I can do, just this year was a little fought for me. I guess ending high school my gpa will be a 3.77 if I consistentally get a 4.0 for the next three years. My high school is very competitive as well.
I see Stanford as a higher chance because I hear they don’t count freshman year when they look at your application. My school doesn’t rank either, so they wouldn’t see that.
I would like to know if I’m on a good track I guess. I understand it’s premature, but I would just like to be prepared for my chance. Thanks in advance.
