How can I improve my GPA in order to get into top schools like UCLA, Berkeley, USC, or UCSD?
I am a very hardworking student. I earned A's and B's during my freshman year and sophomore year in college, but after Organic Chemistry, my GPA dropped a lot. I passed Organic Chemistry, but now it seems like no matter what I do or how well I do, I can't bring up my GPA. One B just makes it drop even more! My GPA right now is a 3.19. And, I know I can do better, but how? My parents say that I am overreacting because I feel very terrible about my grades, but this is how I am...I won't give myself a rest until I see improvement. I am VERY determined.
I am a health sciences major at UCSC. PLEASE HELP! I promised myself that I will do so much better in college...right now, I feel like I hit rock bottom!! ( I need to improve during my 3rd and 4th year)
Ask around your friends for any easy courses and take those in addition to your sciences. Usually humanities related courses are great GPA boosters. You can also try auditing courses ahead of time (i.e. attending the lectures though not actually enrolled in the course to get a feel for the subject material).
