Raising gpa?
currently a junior with a 3.44 gpa. not too bad, but i would like to raise it. (probably to about 3.6 realistically, 3.7 or greater ideally) the college i'm looking at isn't crazy high ranking, but has great academics and has a decent acceptance rate (~63%) but the average applying student has a 3.9 gpa. I've used a few different acceptance calculators and have gotten very different results, some saying i have ~88% chance of acceptance, others saying it's a reach school. i finished this quarter with all a's except for 2 b's in my classes. currently taking 1 honors class and i took 1 honors class freshman year but got a 79% in that class. planning on taking two honors classes my senior year, not planning for any ap classes or ap exams.
tldr: how well do i have to do in all my classes to raise my gpa?

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!!!
