<p>Hi I’m new to this website. I have a couple of concerns concerning my acceptance to colleges. I am really interested in UC’s and a couple of out-of-states; however, I do not have such hot grades. My freshman year I took all honors classes but received a gpa of 2.7. Sophomore year (a year that really counts) I took all honors classes and one AP and received a weighted gpa of 3.7; however I received a 2 on the AP exam. That same year I received a grade of C in my honors chemistry class but I am planning to re-take the summer course at a community college to replace it with an A. At present, I am about to end my 1st semester of junior year (the most important!) and I am taking 4 AP classes, Academic Decathalon, choir, and Honors Spanish 3. My weighted gpa is most probably going to end up being either a 3.9, a 4.0, or 4.2 depending on how well I perform on my finals. I plan to take an SAT class for a month and will take the test for my first time in Spring. I have high aspirations but unfortunately I was a big procrastinator. I am very astute and I know I have the potential to become a great student, yet my laziness hinders me. I plan to make the best of the next semester and do well on my SAT; however my gpas concern me very much. I hope to major in biochemistry and minor in Spanish. College is my dream and I hope it is not too late to chase it.Thanks for your time!</p>
