Hi guys,
I used to be a huge slacker. I didn’t do homework , never studied for tests, did nothing after school…It was a disaster. Then about halfway through my sophomore year I realized that what I was doing was gonnna hurt me in the long run. From that point on I never recieved below a B. However, the damage had alraedy done,as my freshman year GPA was pretty low and my sophomore year GPA was just ok. This year I had a huge improvement and really did as well as I know I can.

So heres my stats, and let me know what you think.

Freshman year: 2.78 GPA
Sophomore Year: 3.14 GPA (Honors English)
Junior Year: 3.72 GPA (AP Gov, Honors English, History, Business classes. Awaiting AP exam score for AP Gov)

Cumulative GPA: 3.23

School doesn’t weight.

I go to a top 10 school in NJ, and we typically do very well at most colleges (Northern Highlands)

took SAT’s Twice:
First time: 610 Math, 620 Reading, 640 Writing 1870 total.
Second time: 610 Math , 620 Reading, 680 writing, 1910 total.
Considering taking a third time come october.
