Freshman year in high school.

Pre-College Topics High School Life
1

<p>My current classes are
-Adv. Band A
-Physics A+
-English 1A B+ (The teacher hates me alot. haha)
-Physical Education A
-Spanish 1 A-
-Pre-Calculus. A</p>

<p>And my GPA for the first semester was 3.83. ( I had 1 B+, 89.76%)
Even if I get all A’s next year, my GPA will only go
only up to 3.91. </p>

<p>Will this look bad on my college app?
&
Should I take AP Psychology exam to at least bring up my weighted GPA?</p>

<p>&& I’m planning to take AMC 10 soon and SAT Subject test Math 2 in May.</p>

<p>What classes did you get lower grades in? Your grades are fine NOW, but if you have trouble in certain classes that trend could continue in the future.</p>

<p>A 3.8-3.9 unweighted will not look bad on your college apps, because those are great GPAs to begin with, especially since you took pre-calc and physics as a freshman. But don’t expect your overall cumulative GPA at the beginning of senior year to be exactly the same as your freshman year GPA after the first semester. </p>

<p>Weighted GPA means nothing except in calculating class rank at your school. You should take the most challenging classes possible, but don’t worry about your weighted GPA as a number. Every school calculates it differently. My school doesn’t weight at all.</p>
