Hello, I am currently stressed out over my future. As applying to colleges and my step into adulthood nears, everything is coming up so fast. My dream school (top choice) is Penn State Main Campus and has been since a young age. I want to major in journalism. I am a junior in Southeastern Massachusetts. My GPA is roughly a 3.6 GPA on the 4 scale. At my school, the course levels go by order of difficulty…AP (Advanced Placement), Honors, College Prep 1, and College Prep. Although I have excelled in history and English at the Honors and AP levels, but my main concern is the three Cs I have gotten. I got a high C+ in geometry, a C in chemistry and a C+ in physics. Is this hurting my chances at main campus ? I have not taken the SATs yet. On the side, I am in DECA, Key Club International, Student Against Destructive Decisions and Portuguese Club and I play tennis in the spring. I don’t know if these play a factor.
