<p>I have been slacking off my freshman and sophomore years. I have 2.0 gpa. In my next two years i will be taking AP Macroeconomics, AP US History, AP Calculus, AP Computer Science as well as IB Higher Level Physics and IB Higher Level Mandarin.</p>
<p>What Must I do(Grades, Clubs, Athletics, etc.) in my next two years in order to get accepted at DePaul?</p>
<p>DePaul really takes grade trends into consideration, so just try your best in all of your classes next year and aim for a GPA of 3.5 or higher. Focus on bringing up your grades and if you have time try joining a few clubs or do volunteer/community service (DePaul is a big service school). Also, study hard for the ACT.</p>
<p>As long as they see that you’re significantly improving, you may have a shot.</p>
<p>I agree – as long as you can make a significant improvement in your academics, they probably won’t judge you too harshly on your earlier GPA. Luckily, you still have a lot of time to raise it. If possible, try to take some AP courses your senior or junior year, and study hard for the ACT/SAT. Volunteer work is good, and LEADERSHIP is a quality that they love to see in applicants. So, if you can keep up with your academics, try working with an organization at your school, playing a sport, or taking on extra responsibilities.</p>
