Colleges and grades.... sooo frustrated! Please help me!?
OMIGOD!!!! College is coming up in like 2 years and I knwo I sound like a paranoid freak but... my friend is graduating this spring and I'm a sophmore... I was thinking about what colleges I want to go to: Southern Wesleyan University- maybe (is it a good school?) , Emory, Oxford, UGA.... these are really the colleges I want to go to. But I screwed up with A's B'a C's and D's freshman year and last semester. Currently I'm doing a good job of maintaining all A's and B's. I'm taking an AP course, 2 next year, and maybe 4 senior year. I'm in Key Club, SADD, and I'm going to start doing volunteer working at a hospital. I know I sucked in the beginning but I'm trying hard now and it's working! Doesn't that count for something? Please help me? The SWU said I had a good chance of getting in b/c their lowest GPA that they accept is 2.5 and my GPAs are generally higher than that. SO any tips? Which colleges can I and can't I get accepted into?
Im planning on going somewhere SE America :)

Every year the US News and World Report magazine puts out a special college edition. They rank many colleges in the US and give a lot of basic information, including average GPA of accepted students and what percent of students are accepted. They also have some basic information on their website, but the magazine was a major source for me when I was picking a college.
The only other thing you need to consider is your SATs. A good SAT score can make up for a lower GPA. Also GPA is an average - so just keep working hard and you should be able to raise it. Try to get at least a 3.0 overall.
Good luck!
