Well, now that you know what’s at stake, you CAN pull up that “estimated” junior GPA. If you manage to attain a 3.0, or something above 2.74, you may actually make a cumulative 3.0. What’s stopping you from working harder if the only reason for your grades is laziness?

I’ll be honest. You have zero chance for those scholarships. You can attend college; many colleges like the B student but these are not the top 20, or maybe even 50. However, even these colleges don’t admit students with a downward GPA trend. You need to focus on grades and bring them up. Don’t worry about the SAT exams. If you score 650-700 range for SAT I and II, you’re fine. A large gap between grades and test scores, along with a downward grade trend, signals an indifferent student.
