Colleges don't care. They want GPAs, ACTs, and SATs; quite unfortunate really.

WOO! I'm kinda glad to be out of High School, to be honest. It's a lot of bad memories for me. I'm personally chasing a biotechnology major.

 

[Jack Hexskull]

Congrats to all of the seniors! Still have 3 more years of it

Yeah man, but remember college is a lot different, a lot harder than high school and its going to take some adjustment. Take easy courses in the beginning, dip your toe in. If you need to drop a class to avoid failing its ok. Check with the financial aid office and see what scholarship opportunities they have. Get yourself a good advisor, you don't have to do everything on your own. I was in the top 10 in my graduating class of '15 in high school and then my first semester I had to drop Calculus 1 because I was failing so badly. Now, I just finished Calculus 3 and Differential Equations(which I actually managed to get the highest score in the class somehow). Also look into work study jobs with the college. Good luck and dont be afraid to ask for help.

An A+ in a class would affect your GPA though...

Barely.

Barely.

Doesn't matter how much it raises it by, it still does. With the amount of people applying to some top colleges a few decimals on your GPA could put you ahead or behind of hundreds of other applicants.

Don't forget your extracurricular activities. Not all colleges are just looking for academics nowadays.
