I ruined the first semester!


Question Posted Thursday December 13 2007, 10:17 pm

16 f.
I always get good grades. Last semester my GPA was a 1.67 & I'm a junior! In 9th n 10th grade I got 3.2, 3.5. I switched schools and my grades & learning got twisted! Did I really ruin my chances into getting into a good university? I'm so depressed! :-(

Oh and I'm trying to get a track scholarship, too. I'm reeeeally good, too. Will that make my chances bad, too?.

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?

Do extremely well on your SAT and ACT, and I hope you're good at track.

dont wig out. if you do good the rest of your high school time...your gpa should be fine. cuz universities will look more at your overall. or they will see that you slipped, but got back on track. it will be really hard to bring back up, you just have to work extra hard that is all. good luck

Don't beat yourself up. You switched schools and I can understand how that would mess up your learning. You had to get used to all new teachers and you had to focus on other things that come with switching schools. You've learned your lesson and you have 3 more semesters to help your overall GPA. Honestly, your GPA isn't the most important thing. It's your ACT and SAT scores. I am a freshman in college and I had to go through the whole applying for college thing and if you show the colleges you brought your grades up and you made a decent score on your SAT you won't have a problem getting into a University.

Good luck and just study a lot next semester.

Its not too late. You can still bring up your grades. get a tutor or get help from your teachers either during lunch, a study hall or after school. Im sure your grades will show drastic improvement and though the 1.67 will look bad for college, your next GPA if you get on track now, will show your improvement and that will look good. It will show the colleges that you apply to that when and if you hit a rough spot you will work hard to get out of it and u wont give up until you are where you wanna be. Good Luck and try to relax a little.
