Hi there.
I am new to SDN but I am finding my way around quite nicely and I've read some really good advice here. I have a few questions myself, and any input you have is immensely appreciated.
I am trying to increase my chances of getting into my dream school which is the University of New Brunswick for Biology. My biggest problem is my GPA, I was a terrible, terrible freshmen and sophomore, my grades were D's and C's in history and math. I've held a solid A+ in English all three years, including all honors and AP. My grades in Science are all B+, all three years so far.
My GPA in the middle of this school year was a 2.8. I cringed. 2.8 is not a number I am proud of. I just finished my Junior year, and I finished with almost honor roll. My lowest grade the entire year was Honors Algebra II with an 82. I finished the year with honor roll. I have created my schedule for next year to increase my chances of being accepted into a Biology program.
I am taking Advanced Anatomy and Physiology, Advanced Placement Biology. I am taking an after school optional college level Intro. to Sociology. The highest math I will reach in High School is Trigonometry. My Junior year I took a year long course to become a certified nursing assistant. I obtained my CNA certification with honors in the course.
Theoretically, I plan to complete my last year with high honors. I need it to bring my GPA up and I refuse to settle for anything less than a 3.0. (Higher would be nice!)
How do I stack up against other applicants? How can I improve my chances? On a final note, thank you SO much if you read this far. I plan to retake the SAT's come this fall, but my current score is a 1470.
