Urgent help

So my main uni in mind is uc Berkeley, the problem is that I’m an international student who messed up in 10th grade, I had a 2.85 uw and a code of misconduct. I’ve set up a strong ap calendar for junior and senior year ( junior btw), I’ve also done ap pre calc in my sophomore year and I got a 4. I have moved schools since 10th grade and I’m doing much better academically now, what else can I do?

I love ur improvement, I can relate to u my gpa was low and I had codes of misconduct for my first two years of hs, I'm a junior now and honestly colleges care more about an upward trend than perfect everything. ur aps will help, try to maintain high grades in them because that's what will raise ur weighted gpa. I would also say maybe create a new club, being a junior isn't too late, focus on ur academics while also getting into meaningful extracurriculars even 2-3 activities is good.

That's super impressive! I love the improvement academically! I would also say obtain some leadership roles and do extracurricular activities. They're super useful and definitely help your application. Maybe even get some community service in to add to your resume! Keep up the great work!
