If I receive a D semester 1 of Junior year will this affect my chances of being able to attend a University of my choice
This semester has been challenging and I have lost focus of my future aspirations. Now that I am back on track I have realized the effects of my mistake of slacking off. Semester 1 grades of Junior year have been submitted and I am now worried that I won't be able to attend a prestigious University of my choice. Specifically, as of now I have an A- in RCOE Adv Medical Assist Clinic, A+ in Piano Keyboard,B- in Spanish 2,C in College Algebra,B in AVID, D+ in AP U.S. History, and a C in AP English Lang and Comp. My Cumulative GPA (Weighted) is 3.467 my Class Rank is 238 of 643. In conclusion, I am in need of some advice as far as if I should just focus on attending non prestigious universities, is there a way for me to make something like this up, and or any and all advice about what to do from this point forward. I would love to attend SDSU,Penn State,UConn, or Long Beach State.
I doubt that 1 D is going to impact your chances of admissions to the schools that you have listed. Admissions are holistic and a lower GPA can easily be offset by solid test scores and extracurriculars. All four of them (especially SDSU) are fairly selective, but I think you will still have a solid chance of getting into them despite the D+ in APUSH. Since none of them are guarantees, I would recommend adding at least 2 safety schools to your list. If you really want to go to school in SoCal, you should look into Cal State Northridge and Cal State Los Angeles for some solid safety schools.
