Chat am I cooked
Answered

So I currently have a 3.7-3.9 ish GPA rn (on 5.0 scale. I KNOW 😭). Im taking AP bio and lang, and those two are my worst grades (I have a b in land and a c in bio; everything else is an a). Took a lot of honors classes throughout highschool, and I'm planning to take two more APs during senior year.

AM I COOKED OR IS THE RIGOR REAL

Hiii!! I understand you may be underpressure with your lower AP grades. Honestly tho that's really good that you're at least passing them and not just that but besides those classes you have As. I do know as long as you study for your AP exams to at least get a 4, colleges don't look at your AP grades. Or your score overthrows it. Make sure next year your APs don't go under a D as they still look at your GPA for senior year. But overall you're doing really strong currently. If you feel like you're underdoing it you can see what you can do to at least get your bio up to a B. But honestly just really study and get good scores for your AP Exams.

Since you took harder classes, that looks better to colleges. Also if your ECs are strong and your essays are good, you'll be fine.

You should be fine. Don't worry, I know people who have much worse stats than you, and they do fine. Also, why? lol.
