This is an incorrect response, your max. unweighted cumulative GPA maxes out at 2.28 if you already have your junior grades in hand. Sorry for getting your hopes up.

If you have a 2.0 GPA that means that you have 3 years or 6 semesters of grades on your high school transcript. Or at least 5 semesters if you haven't received your Spring grades for 11th grade yet.

That means you only have 1, max. 2 semesters of grading left in your college career. The maximum GPA you can attain prior to applying for college by the end of the year is ((6x2)+4.0)/7 = 2.28 unweighted if you get a 4.0 straight A during the fall semester. If you get a 4.0 this Spring and 4.0 this Fall, then your max unweighted GPA can be a( (5x2.0)+8)/7 = 2.57

I don't know why the other respondent said you could end up with a solid 3.0. This is not mathematically possible in your time frame.
