Answer

Most colleges look for improvements. Not doing well freshman year and improving over the years is better than doing great freshman year and your grades falling for your sophomore, junior and senior years. I recently went to MIT and Harvard for visits and at both places the admissions director told my group that that was one of the things they looked for. IMPROVEMENT. Even ivy leagues and very selective schools look for improvement over the years. But just remember that your Junior Year is the most weighted of all the years.

Answer

I don't think it should matter unless you plan on attending an Ivy League college. I quit school and received my GED about a year later. I was 23 when I decided to go to a community college. I did well enough to receive grants to go to UCONN for the nursing program.

Answer

It does matter if you are trying to get into a good college, but otherwise it should be fine. Try joining more clubs and participating in more activities, or even volunteer at more places. Colleges usually don't look at your freshmen year but as long as you greatly improve your sophomore and junior year then it should be okay for most UC colleges.

Answer

No need to worry.

If you meet the college requirements, or even close to them, you still have a very good chance of getting in. NEVER GIVE UP!!!! I can't stress that enough. College applications are looked at by real people, not computers. These days, everyone goes to college, and everyone makes good grades. So schools look for those people that go beyond academics. If they see that you have tried to make improvement they take that in consideration. Schools would rather have someone that has to work for their degree that someone that education comes natural. I was given that advice by my AP English teacher who has 20 years of experience teaching college level English to high school students as well as being a counselor.

My advice is to keep trying, it's never too late. Work your butt off and it will pay off. You can always try a junior college and transfer in later. Take extra classes to bring up your GPA. Your work will not go unrecognized.

The most important thing is that if you give it your all, even if you don't reach your goal, you won't have any regrets.

What is the GPA requirement to get into the University of Chicago I screwed up my freshman year but have gotten A and B my sophomore year do I still have a chance at University of Chicago?

Schools would rather see that you have brought your grades up from freshman year, rather than doing good freshman year, and doing poorly the rest of high school. So the answer is yes, but you do need to remember that admission is not just based on your GPA, it is also based on your tests scores.

If you screwed up your freshman year but have a really good reason can i still get excepted into Columbia university?

If you screwed up freshman year, you should show proof to the next school that you can do the work. This can be done by attending a community college (2 year school in your area). Find out what kind of courses Columbia is having their students take, and try to get similar courses at the other school. See if Columbia has any transfer guides. When you take the courses, pull nothing but A's and maybe a few B's. And do this for at least two semesters, even three! Then when you apply to Columbia, you write a letter called a petition, attach it to your application and explain in that letter what happened in your freshman year. And if they don't accept you, there are other awesome schools who will recognize that you really can do well in College. Don't give up. Set up a game plan and go get 'em!
