I am in currently a sophomore in high school and in the first semester got a 2.8UW/3.6W. Being honest, My goal was around 3.6-3.7 UW by the end of my high school career but i now realize it is very unlikely. I got held up with time from playing varsity sports(football and track) which led to my demise with grades by getting 2Cs(ALG II TRIG (H) and CHEM (H)) 2Bs(WORLD HISTORY AP and ENGLISH 2 (H) and 1 A(SPANISH 2). My projected GPA for this semester is around, about 3.4-6 and my UW with freshmen year is at 3.3. The classes I will take next year include AP US History and BIO/English 3 (H)/Spanish 3/Pre-cal (CP)/Track and Field (varsity if that matters) and quitting football(2 years 1 year varsity if it matters).

Considering I want to go to places such as UCR, UCI, USC, Boston College, UCSB, UC Davis, U of W, U of Michigan, Indiana U Bloomington Kelley School of Business. Any tips on what I could do other than raise my GPA, like something to cover for my lower end GPA?
