<p>Ok, so i didn't do so hot with my GPA or my test scores, 3.2 non-wieghted GPA, and 1700 on SAT's, but i'm not that bad riight?</p>
<p>I want to go to school on the coast, preferably California, any specific colleges you think look like a good choice for me?</p>
<p>If you really want to help me out...</p>
<p>-Does blaming you bad grades on a specific teacher who haunted you throughout highschool work? Because it truly was the case for me.</p>
<p>-Does doing superbly better your senior year help much?</p>

It helps...but it would have been better to show improvement your junior year.</p>
<p>What state are you from? Any thoughts on potential majors?</p>
<p>actually, blaming your grades on a teacher MAY help depending on the situation. for me, spanish was always my low point on my transcript. thats because for spanish 2 (frosh year of HS) i had a TERIBBLE teacher who was deemed inadequit by the school board summer after my freshman year. i litterally learned NOTHING in spanish 2, passed with a C, and got moved on to spanish 3. as you can imagine that wasnt any easier and i wound up getting C's for the eyar in both spanish 3 and honors spanish 4.</p>
<p>i wrote a letter telling my colleges with. without making it sound too much like ohhh pity me, it can be a good option. my GC also included it which made it sound a lot more legit than just a kid whining. try to get support from your GC. something mustve gone right, becuase i was accepted at 5/6 schools that do not usually accept 3 C's on transcripts</p>
