<p>yeah…you’re screwed. Anyway to get extra credit? Maybe suck up to some of your teachers?</p>
<p>yo whats your cumulative GPA so far?</p>
<p>3.111 as of last semester.</p>
<p>lol DTF, i remember you from teen misc, i used to look go to bb.com a couple years ago before it got gay</p>
<p>not to sound like a dick, but reading some of your other posts, it seems like you think you have a chance at caltech and other top schools. the answer is no. your grades are horrible, your GPA is what? a 2.5, and your SAT is pretty bad as well.
you do realize that with the combination of your average ECs, horrible GPA and SAT, you have no chance at being accepted at a decent school? it is also way too late to reverse your poor academic record. even if you managed to get straight A’s for this semester and the first semester of senior year (which you wont), you probably would not even break a 3.0 unweighted. also, i dont think you have the ability or motivation to raise your SAT to a 2300+ (which you would have to score to offset your horrible GPA, but even that probably will not make a huge difference)</p>
<p>you may have a chance at UC merced or something, if you are actually serious about school you could probably attend a CCC for a couple years and transfer to UCLA or berkeley if you have good grades, because it is extremely easy to transfer into the UC system.</p>
<p>i was sort of like you, i had high aspirations, except i actually got my **** together in the beginning of 11th grade. my 9-10th grade weighted GPA was like a 3.38, but i managed to get all A’s with the exception of a couple B’s from 11th grade-1st semester 12th grade and brought my class rank to the top 10%, and i also raised my SAT/ACT considerably in a period of just a few months. 182 junior year PSAT to 2150 SAT by the end of junior year, and a 27 sophomore ACT to a 32 ACT at the end of 11th grade. even though my final GPA is not that great (3.5 unweighted) i still managed to get accepted to every UC except one as an out of state applicant, and a couple top 20 schools. i was rejected from an ivy league school and a few other top schools i applied to, but the point is that i actually was motivated and now my hard work has paid off.
basically what im saying is, its too late for your to make a difference because you *****ed up so much, if you had a stronger work ethic and motivation you could have make a considerable turn-around. dont even bother applying to caltech or any other top 50 school, you are just wasting your money. college admissions is not some random game where they draw applicant’s names out of a hat. even if you had some sort of massive hook, like being an underrepresented minority, you still would have NO chance, that’s how hard you’ve made it for yourself with these grades. further, do you honestly think you would be able to handle the academics at a school like caltech, LOL? you cant even manage getting A’s in highschool ffs dude, and you havent even broken a 2000 sat.
son, i am dissapoint</p>
<p>Worst comes to worst, Texas Tech, I qualify for the automatic acceptance thing. In no way in hell I am going to Texas Plus, it was the first time I took those tests.</p>
<p>Yo i used to be just like you man, i used to be really intelectual as a kid but then 8th grade and 9th and 10th grade came around and i stopped turning in work and what not, but in my case i was too distracted by soccer and other stuff in school so over the summer between 10 and 11 grade i had a sort of spiritual awakening, you could say, and i realized that i need to change my life. now i just motivate my self by thinking about how much i hated having to hide my report card from my parents and like how i hated everyone thinking i was smart but then when it came to actual grades how i always shied out of the conversion and what not. so like i always finish my work on time now and heck i have been getting really good grades all year (4.0 and iA i will finish 2nd semester with a 4.0). I think the biggest factor is motivation and finding what motivates you.</p>
<p>BTW i dont take b.s. classes i actually take a challenging schedule

<p>how did your parents even let it get THIS far. do they not care about your grades or do you not listen to them when they tell you to study or what…? there really is no excuse for getting grades that bad in highschool</p>
<p>I don’t know. I pushed them away. I totally agree, I am baffled by my low performance. Seems like I have been in a trance this whole time. I don’t know what got to me.</p>
<p>2fast4you; i dont think he is that hopeless maybe if his parents were willing to dish out the dough he could apply to a quasi-good institution like a Penstate or somewhere else</p>
<p>cause at my school even the idiots get accepted into penstate</p>
