Hi, i think i have a bit of a unique situation (not in a good way) with my grades… Right now im in my junior year, and my gpa isnt that bad overall, i have an 89.75. Ive taken a few honors courses throughout highschool (freshman year i took honors english and world history, sophomore i took honors bio, math, spanish, and english, but this year all im taking is honors spanish and ap english, but ive signed up to take ap environmental and gov&poitics for next year, if that matters) but, in sophomore year, i got really, really terrible grades in math. In freshman year i was in cpa math, and i got an 89 average, so i thought id challenge myself and move up to honors…and it was the worst decision i ever made. I ended up with a 69 year average in math for sophomore year. Obviously, i dropped down from honors back to cpa, and this year so far i have a 91 average. I dropped down from honors science as well, but that wasnt because my grade was bad (i had a B average). So yeah, basically im an A to B student, except in sophomore year where i have a D in math. Which, ive heard, is REALLY terrible especially for state colleges cause some will automatically decline any student with a D grade. I’ve been crying (rarely not in a literal way) for the past year over this. My SAT score was 1260, but im going to take it again and hopefully get higher… Basically, i know that someone with my overall gpa and sat score would have about a 40 percentish chance (scattergrams on naviance), but since i have D on my transcript i dont know where that places me now. I have some extra curriculars, but i dont know if theyre good enough to even matter: i go to a youth orchestra every sunday, and i volunteered at an animal shelter. I dont know if this makes a difference either, but im a girl, and i want to get a degree in education and general science, or maybe zoology. Thank you to anyone who replies ^-^
