Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>How do you think my grades are for a freshmen after quarter 1??</p>

<p>Freshmen Focus (required)-96%
Algebra 1 CP-B-87% (always been one of my weakest areas)
Global Studies 1 CP-B-83% (I need to work on that one)
English 1 CP-B-92%
PE 1- 78% (I know thats terrible. I had a bad exam grade, we had to perform this dance thing, and I got a 60. But PE is a semester, so today we all started over with 100's, thank god!! I need to work on that one too.)</p>

<p>And my overall GPR (Grade Point Ratio/Average) is 3.15.
What do you think?? Good/Bad?? I just need to bring up Global Studies and PE and I should be good, and then after PE I have Spanish I, yuck. Anyways, how'd you guys do??</p>

<p>yale, you're doing great - The vast majority of colleges remove PE entirely before calculating your GPA so it will not have a bad effect (unless they see that your bad grades were due to unexcused absences which they weren't.) Freshman year can be a shock but it is also possible to really pull up grades; they do not depend on innate intelligence. I went from a B- to an A- for the year in algebra freshman year (a hard subject for me). so buena suerte and give spanish a chance.</p>

<p>Our school starts crazy late, so we just got progress reports today, my grade approximations:
english B+ (ouch)
history B- (double ouch! i'm actually doing ok, but I forgot a semi-major assignment & scored 0)
math A-
science A
spanish A
latin A+</p>

<p>Well dreamsofyale, not bad, considering that it is your first quarter of freshman year. The lower grades can still be brought up, as youre only half way through the semester and grades in classes such as math, etc. can dramatically increase or decrease, depending on the amount of effort you want to put in. If you are truly aiming to attend Yale once you graduate, those grades will most likely not cut it, but it is only your freshman year, which is considered relatively unimportant, but it'll still be on your trascript and you still have time to bring those up.
A little advice to all of you just starting high school: it's good that you are already thinking about college, the majority of freshman don't. It'll creep up on you faster than you can imagine and if you didn't take the first three years seriously and do as well as you possibly can, you'll end up really limiting your choices. If you're looking at ivy leagues or really any competitive school, keep the GPA as high as you can, get involved in things, find your niche and stick with it, you'll be fine.</p>
