3.2 gpa.. can i raise it?

I have a 3.2 gpa (2.9 freshman, 3.5 sophomore). I'm currently on track to have a 4.0 gpa or higher, I take honors and AP classes and multiple college courses. How high could I possibly raise it?

By the time you apply to college you will have 7 semesters of grades if you apply RD (regular decision 1/1/25) or 6 semesters of grades if you apply ED/EA 11/1/24.

Therefore the highest you can have on an unweighted basis is ((3.2X4)+(4.0X2))/6=(20.8/6)=3.47 to meet your ED/EA deadline or ((3.2X4)+(4.0X3))/6=(24.8/7)=3.54 to meet your RD deadline.

There is not enough info to calculate your weighted GPA but you can figure that out using the weights your school gives you in their school profile information.

Good luck.
