colleges love to see improvement through the high school career. It is possible to get into that profession. Because the average pediatrician goes to school for 14 years, plenty of opportunities to advance to different places will occur. You could start in community college, go to state college, private college, etc;

To get into a really good college a 3.75 minimum GPA (preferabely a 4.0) is needed.


hope i helped.

You can definitely still get into that profession. If you work hard, you can get into a respectable college, and if you do well for your undergraduate program, you can possibly go to an outstanding college for your graduate degree. If you have to, you can even start out at a community college and then transfer into a state college after your first year. There's lots of options still out there for you, don't get discouraged.

hope this helps-

They don't care about your grades as a Freshman. You're doing fine.

I think you can do it if you work your ass off for the rest of high school.
Ask your school guidance councilor what you need to do and what requirements are needed to study your chosen profession. Trust me, their job is to help you seek higher education and they WILL help you every step of the way.
