No, you will just have to work hard to raise that GPA.
Freshman year is 9th grade
Yes! Of Course!
Yep..summer school
I'm not going to research West Point's standards for you, I think you are capable enough of figuring that out. Really, for any college you want your high school grades to be consistent, so if you were to apply you don't want the college looking at your freshman grades and thinking, "This person was really lazy freshman year." Colleges want people they know who aren't going to slack off.
Yes! Your freshman year grades are a part of your overall GPA (grade point average), which is a major factor in admission to any college. If your freshman year grades are poor, sorry to say that Harvard is unlikely to accept you since the are so competitive. However, there are many fine universities that may even grant you an academic scholarship if you are able to substantially improve your grades during your sophomore, junior and senior years. The way most colleges look at it: they'd rather take a student who started with low grades and improves over his/her high school career than take a student who had high freshman grades but poor grades in senior year.
You need to be really smart and have gotten really good grades in high school.
77% of incoming freshman had a high school GPA of 3.75 or higher; 88% were above a 3.5 GPA, so you need to consistently achieve grades between an A+ and B+.
AnswerMost colleges will allow for an occasional misstep, especially if you do well on your SAT's
If your grades drop, it will hurt your eligibility for an academic scholarship.
There are a lot of different types of scholarships, you can get scholarships for grades, sports, or even your ethnicity. It depends where you want to go to college.
The correct spelling is "freshman."
No it is not. You can date whoever you want just make sure you don't hurt anyone around you.
