I'm a Junior at a public highschool. My gpa on a 4.0 scale is 3.0 and on a 14.0 scale it's 9.8(or close to there); rank 140 out of 500. I'm currently enrolled in 4 pre-ap classes: Pre-AP Algebra2, Pre-AP English 3, Pre-AP Chemistry, and Pre-AP Spanish 3(for distinguished graduation plan); played JV football, JV soccer, Varsity powerlifting, and Varsity wrestling. I have about 10 hours of volunteer at the library and 20hrs for community, so around 30 hours total. I haven't took my SATs yet but plan to register soon for the March date.
My only concern is that I failed my Pre-AP Eng3 class this first grading quarter on report card with a 63. It's the first class I've ever failed, so I was pretty much in shock. I think it will bring my GPA and rank down alot.. but IDK. But the only college i can think of applying to right now is UT Arlington. I plan to do a 2+2 program and transfer to a bigger and more prestige university. Could you suggest any other colleges and tell me my chances of acceptance? |

Maybe some teachers weigh their grades more on assignments rather than tests, while some you can get away with a B without doing anyhome homework/classwork and just doing well on the tests. They are all completely different and it is completely plausible. keep in mind that this person is retaking this course thus having the advantage of already knowing things. |

In the class that I failed, only 2 people passed. Everyone else failed. Everyone felt that she went way to fast for anyone to understand, and eventually everyone gave up. The year after that, Trig was so easy. She took time to help everyone. It really pissed me off that I couldnt take Calculus because of one defective teacher. anyway people...advice? |
