Hello! My name is Willie and I’m a pretty average grades person.
I’m currently in my second semester of 10th grade. 9th grade I go:

Algebra 1 with technology part 1- C
Algebra 1 with technology part 2- D
Elective- B
Earth Science- B
Gym- A
English 1 Honors- C
World History Honors- C
AP Human Geography- D

And last semester of 10th grade I go

Geometry- D
Honors Biology- D
Theatre 2- A
French 1- C

Extra Curricular:
-Drama Club for 2 years
-International Thesbian Society
(hopefully some volunteer opps this summer)

My current weighted GPA is a 2.666 and my class rank is 257/471

I’m making better grades than the other semesters right now, but i’m a bit saddened in myself, because these grades do not reflect my character and who I am. I live in North Carolina right around the top schools in the nation: Duke, NC State, UNC, App. State, Chapel Hill, etc.

I would like to venture off to NYU or Marymount or Pace University for theater if possible, but I obviously can’t if I don’t have decent grades. Do you think my chances of getting into any of these colleges is slim? Will I be doomed in community college? I really would like to pursue a major in Theater and a minor in Communications, but right now I’m really worried. Do you think that if I make All A’s and B’s this last semester of 10th grade and the same in 11th, that I’ll have a chance at getting into any of the colleges I listed?
thanks!
