<p>Lol, sorry I'm kinda down. I was wondering if my chances for Emory and UGA honors were totally shot because my GPA would only come up to a 4.1 and my EC's aren't good at all. I'm only a sophomore in high school so I haven't taken the SAT or ACT but will my GPA and EC's alone ruin me? Should I try lowering my standards or am I just worried for nothing.</p>
<p>Don't worry, like you said, you're still a sophomore and have plenty of time to bring that GPA up and develop your ECs. I've met people that get jittery over getting a few Cs and Bs, then later laugh about it when they get into extremely good schools anyway.</p>
<p>While you shouldn't lower your standards (as that would drop your performance), just realize that needlessly stressing over these small things will only hurt you.</p>
<p>But I'm so scared. A 4.1 is the highest I can get in all four years, meaning I have to get all A's for the rest of my days at high school. But I always get a B in math and UGA's page says that alot of there students have GPA's over a 4.0. Ahh going into extreme stress mode again!!!</p>
<p>Also I hear this thing about the weight of each year being different? I really don't understand it. Some people are saying that senior year has the largest weight but I thought it was all equal.</p>
