Upward trend in GPA. School doesn’t really weight grades so this is basically my unweighted GPA.
I know I have low GPA but I have taken the most rigorous classes/gotten a competitive ACT score.
I’ve never recieved a D+ or lower in any of my classes, just quite a few C’s that could have been
prevented, I did bad freshman year averaged about a 3.4 sophomore/junior year.
Where do I stand? What other out of state colleges can I go to that are well known incase I don’t get in? I would rather not go to third rate colleges like CMU, WME, etc. Or any community colleges.

I’ve never recieved a D+ or lower in any of my classes, just quite a few C’s that could have been
prevented, I did bad freshman year averaged about a 3.4 sophomore/junior year.
I’m going into the 11th grade this year and I want to start getting more involved in school activities, clubs, sports, etc.
When I went into grade nine, I knew everyone at the school. Then I moved that summer to a bigger city a full 7 days away.
Last year (grade 10) I was super shy and was nervous about what people thought of me. I didn’t do any sports because I had health problems.
So this summer, I started talking to more people, and now I’m dating one of the most popular guys in my grade. I can tell he wishes I was a bit more popular. He said I have an amazing personality, I just need to be more outgoing.
Hey Guys, I’m a rising senior and I have around a 4.3 GPA [weighted].
And my schedule this year is:
-AP AB/BC Calc
-IB History
-IB Lit
-IB Bio
-AP Chem
-Spanish 4
and I plan on taking 7 college level [ap/ib] classes senior year.
My last PSAT was at the beginning of Sophomore year and I got a 200.
I don’t have anything "unique," but by the time I graduate I will have an ib diploma and 150 service hours that were necessary to get that diplomas [please let me know if you know anything "creative" I can do].
-I’ve taken online classes between my freshman/sophomore year and my sophomore/junior years and will take another between my junior/ senior year.
As far as clubs go, I am involved in quite alot. I will be the president of my school’s HOSA [Health-care occupants students of america] chapter and am also the school’s 1st vp for student council.
Other clubs that I’m not an officer in include:
-Academic Team
-Math Team/ Mu Alpha Theta
-Science Club
-Class Student Council
-Beta Club
Sports:
Before Freshman year, I played Soccer for about 5 years. But as of now, none.
* I have also placed at the State Science Fair two years [1st place and 2nd place]
What’d you guys think are my chances to making it in to Stanford, and when should I apply [other colleges that interest me: MIT, Emory, Harvard, CalTek, GaTek [backup]
Thanks Guys! Be Honest
Unweighted= 4.0
Btw Not a rising Senior, I mean a RISING JUNIOR
I have also placed 3rd at the State Hosa Competition and got invited to nationals, but unfortunately couldn’t attend because it was too costly.
