I am a Junior at a college preparatory private high school (I'm only including that because I'm not sure how this effects how my GPA looks), and I have about an 84/100 GPA. I feel like this is ridiculously low coming into my 2nd semester Junior year. I bombed sophomore year, failing 2 classes. I retook them in Summer School and received B's, although it doesn't change my sophomore year GPA. I also received a 70 for Algebra II 1st semester Junior year (I missed a month of school due to surgery). The rest of my grades from Junior year ranging from 79 to 92. Nonetheless, I managed to keep my GPA from dipping below an 80. My grades since freshman year really are just all across the board, from D's to A's. With the ACT coming up, if I score well enough on it (30 composite or above) do I have any shot at any school? I feel pretty bad right now but I keep working as hard as I can trying to pull it up, it seems like the odds are against me and life is trying its hardest to keep me from being a doctor but I keep trying and trying, and it sucks and I sometimes feels discouraged, but I keep trying. I just want some sort of reassurance while I walk on the road to being a doctor. And for me, that's an extremely bumpy road full of potholes. My extracurriculars are great, they range from Debate to pre-med, environmental science, plenty of community service too. I'm even trying to get a research internship over the summer. Any thoughts? I mean, I still have 2nd semester Junior year and 1st semester senior year, right?
