<p>So, I am finishing my first semester at college right now. (University of Massachusetts). I currently have a 4.0 GPA and am very involved in clubs. </p>
<p>I want to transfer to Dartmouth College starting my sophomore year, however, they do require high school grades which is might be a problem for me.</p>
<p>For a lot of high school, I did not care about academics at all.
Freshman year: 1.8 GPA
Sophomore year: 2.8 GPA
Junior year: 3.0 GPA
Senior year: 3.66 GPA </p>
<p>High School Cumulative GPA: 2.8</p>
<p>I received a 1760 on my SAT's when I took them in high school, but recently retook them and scored a 2030. (Math 700, CR: 660, WR: 670) I am also thinking about taking them one more time.</p>
<p>Although my high school record is TERRIBLE, I do have a continuous upward trend in grades and have achieved a 4.0 GPA thus far. </p>
<p>In addition, my father has THREE degrees from Dartmouth.<br>
1) Bachelors of Science in Engineering
2) Masters of Engineering
3) Masters of Business Administration </p>
<p>So, I would like to know what others think because I would like nothing more than to attend Dartmouth and also carry on my father's legacy.</p>
