Hi, I’m currently a rising senior who didn’t do so well in my junior year, and since I’m moving to a new place and starting at a new school, I have the option to repeat junior year at my new school. But the advisor at my new school advised that I should just continue on with my senior year. The thing is, I’m not sure I’ll be able to get into my dream schools with my current stats (and I also don’t feel emotionally ready to start college yet), and I’m hoping to do really well if I repeat a year or continue on with my senior year. I’ve also heard that colleges don’t look favorably at grade repeats. So, would a Postgraduate year at a prep school be a better option for me, or should I just repeat my junior year and hope for the best?
