<p>Hi, So I have NO IDEA about all these colleges and stuffs. but I am extremely worried these days.
Please check what I have right now and give me advises thank you!!! (:</p>

<p>Considering to Apply:

Brown</p>
<p>I know that my GPA is pretty bad, and It is kind of “really bad” because it is getting lower every time. However, what happens if I get 4.0 for the second semester?</p>
<h2>Questions</h2>
<ol>
<li>If I get above 3.7 for the second semester, Do you think there is still a chance to get into colleges above ranking 30s?</li>
<li>I am only a sophomore. Do you think my grade until now will affect a lot in college admissions?</li>
<li>Should I just drop do the regular science class or show teacher that I am really trying hard and try to get better grades in honors science class? (currently my grades are around B- - C)</li>
</ol>
<p>I really know nothing about college admissions yet. It will be AWESOME if you guys can give me guideline and comments thank you!
Thanks for reading my questions (:</p>
