Would This Look Bad for Colleges?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Okay, so I'm not the best math student due to bad homework and no study habits but I get the job done, meaning what I learn I can teach easily. </p>

<p>I'm currently in my schools math tutoring program, which is kinda joke cause not many people show but I still help when I can. We get service credit for it, anyways, do you think I can put this on my college application and will this make me look better?</p>

<p>My cumulative math average is currently a 80 but I plan to help raise this, I pretty much have 2 math classes. I doubled up with Pre Calculus and Algebra 2 Trig (NY State). I started the year with two semester of 75s than last semester I got 85s, this last semester, I plan to get 95s in both class. </p>

<p>I also joined the senior math team, which is extra after school class where we do hard math. It's an okay class and allows me to get an easy 95 averaged in for math this cycle. I also take Physics, not sure if that will help but for Physics I started up with 75 first semester and the last two semester I have gotten 85s. This last semester, I plan to get 95. </p>

<p>So, what should I do? would this look bad?</p>

<p>My Science cumulative average is an 86, while my social studies is a 96, my English is an 86. My worst is foreign language, thanks to French, I have a cumulative average of a 73 there. But anyways, the highest score you can get for a class is 95 in my school, unless it's an AP class. </p>

<p>My currently GPA is like 3.0-3.1 </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Also, can you recommend me ways to improve? and maybe some motivation.</p>

<p>Yes, poor study habits will be a red flag to colleges. The top colleges want kids who are extremely bright and who work extremely hard; other colleges will still want to see strong GPAs, and preferably high GPAs earned with a bit of work. (College, after all, is a breeze only for a very few, and hard work is much more important there than it is in high school, where lazy brains will suffice.) Your upward trend will help but may not save your GPA.</p>
