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! :-(

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.

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. [ for3v3r_his's advice column | Ask for3v3r_his A Question ]
