Can I get into a good college?

My parents put a lot of pressure on me to take hard classes because they thought it was the most important thing you could do for college. I couldn't keep up with the work lode though and ended up with a bad gpa. It is junior year and I'm trying hard to fix it. Last term I made honor roll.

Weighted gpa:2.6

Unweighted: 2.2

Sports:Tennis

Member of:Youth group and girl scouts

Volonteer: Every year girft wrapping at santas corrner

once a month making meals for elderly

once a week at an occupational therapy horse farm

I'm enrolled for classes to help with sat scores and I'm trying my best to bring up my gpa. What else can I do? Do you think I can get get into a good college? I want to be an occupational therapist.

    that fact that you are willing to try and boost your grades and GPA is always a great start. You will be fine colleges don't just base it on your grades they look at what you are like as a person e.g. do you volunteer, do you play sports, are you ambitious. and so on! I dropped out of school as a senior and I thought I was done for until I went back re-took all of my classes and now I have a scholarship into North Park University. So if I can do it you definitely can!

    Good luck girlie.
