Raising gpa?

I would say take CCP courses if you can!! They run on a 5.0 scale, so if you get A's in those classes, they WILL raise your GPA up, guaranteed. The downside to that is if you get a lower grade, like a B-, your GPA will more than likely go down a bit. But that's the quickest way I know of to raise it.

I am a junior in college and trust me when I say do not trust college acceptance calculators. Many of the schools the calculators said were hard reaches I ended up getting in to. I recommend looking at the schools common data set (the C7 section mostly) and checking what they actually really care for and honing in on the things they look for.

If GPA is one of the things your target school really looks for, do not fret a 3.44 is great! For more context, my school really values SAT scores and the average SAT score at my school is 1500, however, I got a 1300. I still got in and received a full ride. Similarly, for another school, I got into their honors program even though their average SAT score was about 1500 as well. My school's acceptance rate is about 30% and the other is 17%. Long story short, you are likely fine, do not stress too much, especially if you're only worried about your GPA and your other credentials are fine.

As a fellow junior dude you just might be cooked. I mean that in the nicest way possible but as you take more classes the actual grade matters less and less. I think honestly by the time applications come up you could have a 3.5 MAYBE 3.6 but a 3.7 might be out of range completely, especially since you are not taking honors and or AP. But luckily gpa isn't the only important thing. Deepen those extracurriculars and get a good test score you should be fine. I believe in you!!!
