Hi there, and thanks for checking out the post. I'm graduating high school one year early and would like to know if this will help my chance in joining colleges..
My freshman GPA was pretty bad, I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life, not quite inspired.
My sophomore GPA was okay, it wasn't the worst but it certainly wasn't great.
My senior GPA is and is now currently amazing, I'm on a 3.8-4.4 GPA taking 5 or 6 college classes that are going amazingly.
Questions:
#1) Will colleges see my overall change?
#2) How much do volunteering hours and overall application play into getting accepted?
#3) How much do letters of recommendation come into play?
My current volunteer hours are:
- 30 Hours with Paramedics.
- 500+ Hours as a Teen Counselor/Mentor.
- Team Leader of Counseling Group Since 2013.
Something that doesn't really fit into volunteer;
- Attended regional bio-fuel science competition.
I have 4 amazing letters of recommendation from teachers and school staff.
I just wanted to know if my odds of getting into college is okay or not, I'm going to a community college first to pull really good grades. I've also pulled a list from friends of good teachers at that school so that they might help me in my pursuit.
