So i just finished my first semester at my CC with a 3.7 but my cumulative is a 3.4 because i took a dual enrollment class in HS and got a 3.2 in that class even though the class wasnt at my cc it was at my HS and it wasnt a real course. But yeah i have a 3.4 as of right now and i am enrolled in 4 classes over the summer in which 2 of those 4 actually count i plan on getting A’s in both courses to bring me to a 3.5 cumulative gpa & join the honors society. Fall 2011 i plan on taking 6 classes and hopefully maintain a 4.0 to reach a cumulative of a 3.7 before i apply to schools in 2012 which by then i will have about 30-31 credits completed. These are all predictions based on what im aiming for but just like the first semester if i can’t get a 4.0 and get another 3.7 my cumulative will be a 3.6…

Some of schools im applying to wont need HS transcript after 30 credits because my HS GPA was a 2.15 (thats what i was told going into senior year, now all 4 years combined idk because i didnt bother to ask but my senior grades weren’t really bad i would think my HS GPA is 2.2 (not really a difference between 2.1 & 2.2 same thing right? yeah…) Since then i’ve majored, HS wasnt really my thing i could go on but im not. These are the list of schools im applying to (as a Sophmore) considering everything goes planned and i have a 3.7 with 30+ credits(will be done with all prerequisites) & probably as a business related major (economics, finance…)

NYU (reach i guess)
USC (reach i guess)
Fordham (Main choice because the first 2 seem like reaches)
Umiami
UNC: Chapel Hill
UVA (in state)
Hofstra (safety)
St Johns (safety)
I also plan on retaking SATs but does anybody know how NYU & USC weigh HS grades??
