Which College?!?!?
Virginia Tech or University of Tennessee ? Help.? 8th grade- year gpa- 2.33 9th grade-year gpa- 3.0 10th grade- year gpa 4.0 Im a rising junior. My GPA is only 3.1. its so stupid they add in 8th grade. its really not fair cause in 8th grade your not really thinking about college. ive set myself up for 3 advanced classes my 11th grade year. on a 5.0 scale to raise my GPA. I am hoping to pull it up alot so i can atleast get a shot at VT or Tennessee. I have always wanted to go to VT cause i live 30 min away and i just love it. VT doesnt have the exact program i want to go in but has the beginning of it (managment). Tennessee has a sports managment program. HELP ME please! The way it is now ill probably be stuck going to Roanoke College! not saying its a bad school at all. but i could walk there from my house. I dont want that!

I think if you know what program you want you should go to a school that has it. You might inquire as to whether VT has a minor in the program you want or whether they are thinking of adding the program you want. See if you can sit in on a class in your major and a GE class in each school to see if you like the teachers or teaching style better at one or the other. Your grades don't seem bad to me. And you have 2 years to bump up your GPA. Whoever reveiws your transcripts will see that it's the 8th grade GPA that is pulling your GPA down and will probably take into considereration your imporvement. With your extracurriculars I think you have a good shot.
