<p>I am ranked 28 out of 281. I have just came out of my sophomore year. I have a 4.1 W GPA and a 3.8 UW. I made straight A’s throughout my 10th and 9th grade years but I made C’s throughout Algebra 1 in the 8th grade (it was due to family issues) and this is factored in to my GPA because it is a high school credit course. Next year, I will be taking all dual enrollment and honors courses. I feel confident that I can maintain straight A’s through these. Honors and Dual Enrollment courses are weighted with an A being a 5.0, and so on. My question is, do any of you think that my rank could increase and if it doesn’t increase, is it all that bad of a rank?</p>
<p>You’ll be fine. I got B’s in algebra and geometry (7th and 8th grade) but managed straight A’s in high school (most honors/15 AP classes), and went from 30/500 after sophomore year to 8/475 senior year (in a very competitive class). It bites knowing that if I’d gotten A’s in 7th and 8th grade I would’ve been salutatorian, but c’est la vie. </p>
