I'm a Junior in high school starting this fall and I'm wondering how my future's looking right now. I failed most of Freshmen year but I retook all my core classes and I believe I only have one elective left with a big fat F. My school works on the quarter system so it's 8 classes a year, new ones every 4 months or so. I took an AP class this year and passes so now I finished this year with a weighted GPA of 2.83. With the GPA from last year. I think my weighted will barely be a 2.0. If I get straight A's and take AP classes for the extra credit next year, do you think I could bring my GPA up to at least a 3.0 ? I'm a sort of smart dude but extremely unmotivated. Would I be able to get into UC Berkeley or UCSD with a 3.0? Sorry, it's just that I was hit really hard when I realized I could end up working at Mickey D's the rest of my life.
