Am I cooked???

Am I in trouble???
I’m a junior with a 3.03 UW GPA and a 3.5 weighted GPA. I’m hoping to improve a bit, but I mostly take AP classes and tend to do just okay in them. I didn’t take freshman year seriously and ended up with two Ds. I’m planning to take the SAT this summer and aim to major in speech pathology. Should I be worried???🔥

  1. You’re definitely not “cooked”! While it’s understandable to feel concerned about your GPA, there are still plenty of opportunities for improvement. Here are some things to consider:

    1. Focus on Grades: Since you’re in AP classes, make sure to put in your best effort this year. Improving your grades in current courses can help raise your UW GPA significantly.

    2. SAT Preparation: Taking the SAT seriously can make a big difference. A strong score can help offset some of the lower grades and demonstrate your potential to colleges.

    3. Extracurricular Activities: Involvement in activities related to speech pathology or the healthcare field can strengthen your applications. Look into volunteering or internships that align with your interests.

    4. Personal Statement: When the time comes, use your essays to explain your journey, including the challenges you’ve faced and how you’ve grown. Colleges appreciate resilience and a clear motivation.

    5. Research Colleges: Look for schools with strong speech pathology programs that consider more than just GPA. Many institutions take a holistic approach to admissions.

    Ultimately, keep working hard, stay positive, and don’t hesistate to reach out for help if you need it! You’re more capable than you think!
