<p>I’m planning my schedual for my jr. and senior year of high school and can’t decided if I should now try for my school’s Acedemic Honors diploma. Since I would just now be trying to acheive this diploma I will have to take two foreign Languages my jr. and senior, and fit in two Ap classes. So my question is do colleges really look at if you went for an honors diploma or not? Many people I have talk to said it didn’t matter. My next question is my freshman GPA was around a 2.3 and since then I have worked hard and got nothing below a A- on my report cards. I did the math and if I continue getting no lower than an A- in my classes then my overall high school GPA will be a 3.3. WIll that GPA ruin my chances into getting into a college? THANKS :)</p>
<p>No, it won’t ruin your chances. I wish people would stop using words like “ruining chances” or “destroying chances” on this website. It depends on how selective the colleges you’re applying to are. If you’re applying to Georgetown, a 3.3 is a very low GPA, and it’ll probably be much harder to get in with that GPA instead of like a 3.8.</p>
<p>what college are you applying to?</p>
<p>to a regular state college, i think you are set as long as you have some decent ECs and dont get into trouble. Colleges will just look at it and say you took more challenging classes and that your GPA is at an upward trend</p>
<p>for your other question about academic diploma-you will get your diploma after you get accepted to college, so i dont think collges will even know about it.</p>
<p>Am applying to Indiana University. I never thought about the fact that i’ll get accepted before I get my diploma. So guess Acedemic Honors won’t matter.</p>
