Hi everyone! I'm currently a junior, and I've been feeling a bit stressed about my GPA. I didn't do too well during freshman and sophomore year, but I want to turn things around. Is it too late to improve my GPA before applying to college? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Hey there! I completely understand your concern about your GPA, but don't worry too much. It's never too late to improve! Colleges often look for an upward trend in your grades, so if you work hard during your junior and senior year, they'll likely take note of your progress. My own child experienced a similar situation, and they put in the effort during their last two years of high school to bring their GPA up. They ended up getting accepted into a great college! Try to focus on your current and future classes, seek help when needed, and explore extracurricular activities that can showcase your strengths outside of academics. Remember, colleges consider various factors when reviewing applications, so don't lose hope. Just keep working hard and stay dedicated to your goals. Best of luck!
