If my GPA is low what are other strong factors colleges look at.
I鈥檓 a senior in high school, and I鈥檓 beginning to start applying to colleges. I have a pretty good ACT score of 27, I鈥檝e taken multiple honors classes, AP classes, and am currently doing Dual Credit classes. But my GPA is a 3.2, and I was curious if there are ways of strengthening my application?

Hello Nick,
It鈥檚 not too late to start doing lots of extracurriculars unless you鈥檙e applying early. It鈥檚 also really helpful to practice writing your essay since that鈥檚 one of the most important parts of your application. You should start choosing who to get strong recommendation letters from.
