<p>Okay so, I’m a smart person. I have a few A’s, and B’s. Out of my 6 classes, I have 3/6 that are A’s. I’ve been having some trouble in my advanced classes. This year (9th grade) I know is the year that counts and sets my GPA. Right now I’m averaging a 3.27 for the 1st marking period. I want to be able to show a huge improvement by the end of this year, but how can I? I want to get into a good college/university. Right now I’m looking at Oakland University, University of California Berkeley, and University of North Carolina. Do these uni’s have a specific grade requirement when looking at a pupil’s application? How can I get into a great college with what i’m averaging now.</p>
