Do I have to get a 4.0 to get into a good college?
Okay so I’m a little worried right now because i am a sophomore, and i currently have an 85% in math, and 84% in English. everything else is an A- which also worries me. Theres only 3 weeks left of 1st semester. 2 weeks of normal school, 1 week of finals. If i can’t raise both of those B’s to A’s, will it look really bad on college apps? I’m going for the UC’s.
Extra Curricular: will these help?
-I am very involved with sports, I’m currently on the JV basketball team, and have played in different leagues throughout the past few years. Also looking forward to track or badminton.
- I am also involved in Model United Nations, and am considering starting a few clubs at school.
- I do volunteer work, and am planning to do volunteer work the whole summer, and maybe even get a job.
- I am also very involved with my church.
Will these extra curicular activities make up for the 2 B’s that i have? and if anybody has any tips for college, please let me know. thank you

No, you don’t need a 4.0 to get into a good school, and no, having a 4.0 doesn’t guarantee you’ll get into a good school. Keep up your good work, keep challenging yourself, and look around a bit. There are hundreds of good colleges out there, even if you haven’t heard of them.
For most UC’s, you’ll need a 3.7 and a 1700+ on the SAT…
If you want to go for Berkeley or UCLA, then you must have a 4.0 and a 1950+ on the SAT.
No, you do not.
You couldn’t get into Harvard or Yale etc.
But you could probably get into a University of something.
It also depends on what area you’re going into.
The entrance GPA differs.
And what you got on your SAT or ACT is also a big part of getting in a good university or a bad one.
no way!with all of your activites cou are sure to be picked. Colleges almost always look at that first.And just because you have a B that dosen’t mean any thing.You still have 2 more years in high school so don’t stress too much!i think that you should check out some college websites and ask them. they are always happy to answer questions.i think that you have a great chance of getting there!keep it up and good luck!:)
