Freshman year GPA?

You might have a chance at Cal since they don’t look at freshman year GPA. I do kind of agree that you’re screwed for CMU though. Well if you do a calculation, you still have 5 more semesters of school until college apps are due (4 for UC Berkeley). If you get straight As from 10th grade until fall semester of 12th grade, you’ll cap out at a 3.79, which is pretty good. But the main problem is the volume of Cs you ended up with. A lot of good private schools like CMU will look at your transcript and raise an eyebrow. Perhaps you can explain how those ‘distracting things’ affected your performance though, since that may help. Try to get straight As, and get your class rank to within the top decile.
