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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
