Highschool grades and college
I am a current sophomore in highschool and I'm moving onto junior year pretty soon. I'm in all honors and one AP this year but so far my grades aren't the best. Last tear I took all honors and I received As and Bs except for one FAIL on the second semester of geometry out of 6 classes. This year in the first semester of 10th grade I received a D in Spanish a D in AP World history and an F in honors Chemistry.now in in the second semester and I have a FAIL in Spanish 2 the highest I can raise it at this rate is to a D. I feel like commiting suicide because I can't get into NYU or Columbia or UCBerkeley by the look of these grades. Ps first semester everyone cheated for the classes I did terrible in , so much for being honest. Idk what to do. Dying is my only option now. Is there any hope left for me?

Maybe you are taking classes that are too difficult for you? Maybe try taking regular classes rather than AP or Honors and see if you can bring your grades up. Also, have you considered getting a tutor and talking to your teachers? Your teachers do not want you to fail and will most likely be flexible if you have valid reasons for doing poorly and clearly want to do better. You are only a sophomore so you have two years to do better. Colleges are also interested in extra curricular activities so once you get your grades up maybe join a school club that is academically based. Hope this helps.

You could always go to a community college.they accept everyone. It's proven that you get a better education their anyway. And after two years you can transfer to any university you want:)

If you want to die over this than you have a whole other set of problems you need help with. That's NOT rational thinking.
You did the very best you could in difficult subjects (chemistry) World History and Spanish. They aren't easy. When it comes to college and university those marks are only of concern to recruiters if they had something to do with the program you wanted to be in.
If they see all A's, a few B's and 1-3 awful grades in other subjects all they'll realize is that you aren't good in those areas and then will look at all those high grades and honors and balance it out based on whether you are able to handle their program.
Trust me if you apply they'll give you an interview where you can be honest about how hard those classes were and that people cheated and you got those marks cause you didn't.
Columbia, NYU and UC Berkley are lofty goals for anyone. Getting into the top-tier schools is brutal period. Guess what? None of them have rejected you yet and until they do and IF they do you have no reason to be upset yet.
Let's say you don't get accepted. It's a disappointment to be sure but there are tons of colleges and universities who would take one look at your overall academic record, minus the 3 bad grades and make you an offer.
Don't limit yourself and perhaps those top-tier schools aren't your rightful place somewhere is and you'll get a decent education. I hope that puts it into proper prospective. We always end up where we truly belong.
