I’ve got a GPA unweighted of 3.808 (4.127 weighted) I am 15 as a Junior (skipped 6th) and I’m really stressing over my GPA%. I got a 1390 SAT (760 math, 630 English). I want to do Mechanical engineering and I am (was) aiming for top colleges (cal tech, MIT, Stanford, Gtech). Anyone got like something to tell me to call me down? Or any tips to like really boost my GPA?
I'm in the same place, but as a 16 yo Senior! I really wouldn't be worrying about GPA, yours is strong enough for those colleges especially since you're a Junior and haven't gotten all the AP weight in yet.
However, IF you're aiming for MIT, Stanford, etc... you may want to retake the SAT if you can. Your split is strong for engineering, so your reading score likely won't matter as much, but you still may want to try once again to get a higher score. From what I know, those schools have a much higher average. Of course, your background might play a role in it, school, test prep, etc... but just a suggestion!
For a fairly young Junior, though, that score is really strong. You shouldn't be worrying, you're on track in my book!
Your GPA is excellent, actually. If you can manage to boost your SAT score, then better! But you can focus on extracurriculars and personal projects to make you stand out.
