Hi, I just finished my high school sophomore year. Second semester I didn't do all that great. I had a case of sophomoritist, and I "I just turned 16 so i now think I'm grown" lol.I got over this, but I'm scared that colleges will look badly upon this semester. I finished the year with roughly a 3.1. 
In the former semesters my G.P.A. was around 3.5. I'd LIKE to attend Spelman College, but will this semester hurt my chances. I plan on getting back on track and maintaining at least a 3.8 in the next year and then applying early action senior year. I have projected SAT scores in the 1300/1600 range based on my current PSAT score. So do you think I still have a chance if I get my stuff together junior year?
