Long read, but bare with me
So NT, I'm just thinking about where I'm at in my life right now, and it's not looking great. I'll be a senior in high school this year, with a 2.79 GPA(I #$%& up my freshman/sophomore years because I really didn't care about school
....Freshman GPA-2.3, Sophomore-2.8, Junior-3.4(I actually tried and studied a bit junior year and got 3.4, hardest classes I took were Trig/PreCalc,Spanish 4, and Physics; averaged like 30 minutes studying each day), I seriously thought I could've had 4.0 if I had spent at least 2 hours of studying each day. Overall, 2.79 GPA to be exact
). My SAT score was 1510(Absolute horrid). It was my first time and I didn't study at all. Plus I really hate reading(got 450 on CR section
...had to keep reading passages over and over and it wasted a lot of time). I'll retake the SAT again next month, but I don't think I can improve much(maybe 250 max...so score will be around 1760, if that high
). I'm just not a good test taker for these kinds of tests....especially when timed. So right now, my future is looking pretty blurry because of my grades and test scores. My family all think I'm a disgrace(Asian btw) and that I'm complete s*** compared to my cousins whom all have like 3.9/4.0 GPA with 2100+ SAT scores. I believe the saying is true "Your High school years determine your college, and your college years determine your life", and right now, it's all messed up.
I really wish I could go back in time and study my @$+ off to be able to get at least 4.0 GPA to make my life that much easier.
Are there any suggestions/tips on how I can improve and what I can do to get into a good college? I hear colleges only look at your first three years and first semester of senior year grades, so would getting a 4.0 my senior year of high school help?..or is it too late?
Thanks NT.
