Will my pretty average high school grades ruin my ambtious plans?

Applying to College

<p>I've maintained a pretty low/average high school GPA (3.4 unweighted, 3.65 weighted) but I've always done well on tests and essays and took all honors and APs</p>

<p>My problem was that I moved from D.C. to a new high school and was pretty much tormented by my new classmates (this is a school in the middle of nowhere where only about 40% of students are college bound, 90% white (i'm asian-amer. but i look hispanic)) I shouldn't have let it get to me, but I got really depressed and just gave up on myself. </p>

<p>Before the move I was a 4.0 honors student, all honors/ap's and i handled a lot of extracurriculars.</p>

<p>But anyway, after counseling i'm back on track, but since it's senior year it's too late. I know my capabilities and my eventual goal is to go to med school and get a joint M.D./Ph.D. Degree from Johns Hopkins. I've wanted to go to hopkins med school all my life but i'm worried that my performance in high school will ruin my chances of reaching what I feel to be my potential</p>

<p>The people I see who are very "high up" academically I assume all did very well in high school, and I'm worried that I can't transfer into the undergrad i've always wanted (georgetown) because of my grades. they say their transfers mostly are in the top 15% of their graduating class.</p>

<p>help?</p>

<p>High school won't kill your Med School dreams. Just study hard in undergrad cause that's primarily what med school is going to look at when you apply.</p>

<p>I doubt they'll say, this kid's grades really slipped in 12th grade, so we're going to reject him.</p>

<p>College is a chance to start over, and when you think about, high school is just the stepping stone to get there.</p>

<p>Don't stress out about it and good luck. :D</p>
