<p>Hello i am currently in the 10th grade and am starting to get serious about college my GPA now combining 9th grade and 10th grade is 80.63 or a 2.7 GPA and i have one more marking peroid and intend to do much better. now to the point of my thread which will ask serveral question sorry in advance if i put this in the wrong area i am new to this and if it’s possible to move the thread please state in a post on how to do it. but back to my question since i have a 2.7 GPA can i still get it up to a 3.5 if i work really hard what grades will i need to get for next year. the classes that i will take for the next year are IB History, IB Spanish, English Honors, Chem Regents, Trig/Alger Regents, Religion, PE 11( Doesn’t Matter i Guess) and for my Elective Business law or Carrer And Finacial Mangement. Now what grades will i need to get it up. i am considering to enter Law as a future job so what GPA do i need to get to get accepted to a good college that offers Law. Also what are some ways that can help me have a better chance at geting accepted what clubs do i need to enter in. For those who are in college can you please tell me what was your GPA and your Sat and what college your in. if it matters i live in Brooklyn New York and i attend a private school. so will that make me have a better chance compared to a public student for example if we both have 3.0 Gpa but he goes to a public school and i go to a private school who has a better chance at being accepted. Thanks for those who answer,</p>
