<p>Even though I am somewhat young to be worrying about college this much, I just wanted to know what to expect in order to get into JHU.
I am worried that my freshman year and the first semester of my sophomore year will bring me down.
My unweighted gpa went down to 3.6 out of 4 and my weighted is in the 5.1 range out of 6
I still have a bit more than two years to fix it (getting straight A's at the moment)
And by senior year i will have taken about 12 AP classes.
My SAT and PSAT grades are already up where they need to be.
Also I have been playing saxophone for 8 years and have quite a bit of awards to showcase. I am hispanic if that helps at all...
I am just hoping I can still recover from a bad freshman year.
So can someone please tell me if i still have any chance at all.</p>
<p>You must be able to walk on water and create miracles…Just kidding! I think I said to another that getting in to top schools is difficult since it’s an hollistic process, but I think if you pull your GPA up (show upward trend) and your extra circulars and test scores look good, as long as your teacher recs and your personal essays are honest, and perceptive about who you are as a person, then you should have a good shot at making it in!</p>
