<p>So it's the first day of the spring semester, and I just got my report card. My grades are... horrible.
What I wanted to know was: Is it possible to turn around my grades and get into college?</p>
<p>That's it really. Stuff you might need to know:
* I'm a sophomore in high school currently.
*I got about 170 on the PSAT
*I have about a 1.3 gpa
*I'm looking into art colleges- RISD, SVA, FIT, Ringling, ect.</p>
<p>Heading towards junior and senior year, do I have a chance?</p>
<p>Is it possible to turn around my grades and get into college? That’s for you to answer yourself.</p>
<p>With a 1.3 though, you might not even be able to get a 3.0. Just work your butt off and whatever happens, happens. Worse comes to worse, you go to CC and work your butt off there, and transfer into a solid state school.</p>
<p>There’s always room to change. If you can get your act together for your junior year and you study hard, I’m positive you can change your life around :)</p>
<p>Thank you both for the encouragement and the plans of action. I guess that I’ll just have to work going into junior year and try for a 3.0 average. I also hadn’t thought about CC, so thank you SoDoMojo.

<p>Starting at a CC and transferring is an excellent option, although if you do try hard and get a 3.0 you have a chance of getting into a decent school :)</p>
