I think I would probably change my gpa , but the circumstances pertaining for this were out of my control anyway .

I wish I had spent more time on my grades and now it's near my major exam already but I still feel so insecure. I am seriously studying very hard and praying even harder now that my SAT and A levels will be good enough for me to get into UC Berkeley

My gpa

If i had to change one thing it would be my gpa. I currently am a senior in high school and i have a 2.8 gpa. I know my gpa makes me seem like im an idiot, but im not. Im a smart kid that didnt have confidence in myself my freshman and sophomore year and this affected my academic performance. Second semester of sophomore year my grades started to go up and my grades were better than ever junior year. My junior year gpa was a 3.4 and i ended up with a 21 on my act. Im involved in numerous extracurricular activities and have been on track for 4 years and cheerleading for 3 years. I have received honorable mentions in track and was on honor roll junior year. I visited university of minnesota twin cities last week and absolutely loved it!! Is there any chance i could get in there?

I wish I had a higher GPA, could have been a stronger applicant for a lot of good schools.

I would have to say my GPA. As well as the fact that I did not take as many aps as I should of.

I would definitely change my gpa. When I started high school I did not care about school whatsoever and now I'm paying the price for it... My gpa is so low and doesn't reflect my intelligence at all Laziness can really hurt you.

GPA definitely. Its going to be to low for some of my prospective schools, which is why I need to do great on my SAT I/II and ACT, as well as write amazing essays and volunteer more.

I got into the college I always dreamed of, which was Berkeley. Even if I got accepted to every other school in the world, I wouldn't have budged. That was nine years ago. So no regrets!
