College Question

[RaiseUp]

Im having a bad Freshmen year with a 2.0 GPA and I know next 3 years I will and I guarantee it get a 3.0 or higher.. I was wondering can I still get into a good college if I have a not so good Freshmen Year? Thanks. I was thinking like this college http://www.iun.edu/~admit/require.shtml

yes, its possible. Just keep your grades up from now on out and you'll be fine.

 

[Anubis]

yes you can

As long as you show improvement, you should be ok. If you have a valid reason for poor performance, then that can be brought to the admission committee's attention. Doing extra curricular stuff and having good SAT scores can act as a nice buffer, also.

I hope Ill get into college.

no, a bad freshman GPA can follow you for the rest of your highschool career. do better, but do extracuricular stuff, be officers of clubs, etc.

Yeah, just boost your grades up for the next three years. But depending on which college you want to apply, your freshman grade can have a *small* impact. But it's all good, just work your a$$ of like w0ah for the next three yeras... that's what I did 😀

no, it will haunt you if you decide to kick your ass into gear too late. I did crappy freshman & sophmore year and worked had to WORK MY FREAKIN ASS OFF to get my GPA back up to where i wanted it once i decided that i had messed around enough.

It can be done though, im proof.

I had a very low GPA my freshman year in high school, now im about to graduate college with honors and hopefully attend law school.

Yes, it matters a lot. However, if you improve your grades over your high school career then it'll help you a lot in the college admissions process. They like to see improvement, and since you've been constantly improving, you'll probably carry that over to college. I had a gpa in the low 3's freshman year in high school but I eventually brought it up and got into many ivies and other good schools

The freshman year of high school is the easiest year.

some schools (like the UC system) do not look at freshman year grades/classes
