Hi everyone…
I’m just kinda stressing right now about college. I’m a junior in high school.
I had a 3.9 GPA freshman year unweighted. 3.8 GPA sophomore unweighted. and will most likely have a 3.8 GPA unweighted this year. I have taken all the honors courses possible up to this point. I took 2 APs as a sophomore. I took APUSH and AP Microeconomics. This year i’m taking honors french, AP Lang, AP Physics 1, AP Calc BC, AP bio, and electives. I am planning on taking 3 or 4 (AP french, AP Chem, AP Psych, maybe one more) APs next year. My extracurriculars are Student Co, board of Art Club, Head of tutoring for a girls science club, founder of Biology club, Best Buddies, and LEAD. I also do about 10 hours of volunteering each year and receive a merit award. I took the ACT for the first time and got a 30 (without studying much). I’m kinda worried about this being too low. I will definitely study and work on improving my score. My GPA is not the best. I was wondering what colleges I should consider / what advice do you all have for me to improve what i’m doing. I’m looking to go into something with science, possibly premed. My dream school would probably be UCLA. Do I have any chance of getting in there with such a low GPA?
Use the links at the left to find a school that fits your stats. Make sure you can afford a UC if you are OOS.
Separate your post into paragraphs to make it readable.
GPA looks pretty good to me, especially since you’re loaded up with APs.
Only on this site are people worried that an unweighted 3.8 is a low GPA…
