<p>Do your best, what more can we say? College admissions is a game of statistics - no one can give you a sure answer. All you can do it look at averages.</p>
<p>It’s not a very good attitude to want to know the minimum GPA to shoot for and leave it at that. If you look at AO’s stats above. 67% had 3.75. overall. I doubt there are any statistics available for a specific high school year. If you work hard and do the best that you can, you should not have to ask this question, since then there would be nothing more you can do anyway.</p>
<p>You can shoot for all A’s - can’t do any better than that. Don’t miss school, do all your homework and turn it in on time. start readings, projects, papers and other long term assignments early. If you don’t understand something, ask questions and take advantage of tutoring offered at school. Do extra credit and participate in class. A good trick is to review your class notes every night after that class. Rewriting them neatly is even better. You can then use the rewritten notes as a study sheet for tests. In some classes, you should also take notes from the textbooks themselves, not just passively read it. Most important - never fall behind.</p>
