I was in NHS in 9th and 10th grade and have kept my gpa high, can I still graduate with the NHS honors?

Ya, they do seem to have just made up the rule. \nI don't know which state you may live in, so I can't answer this question, since rules are different in different places. At my school we don't have UIL. But if I was you, I would properly ask the NHS sponsor or the principal.

Yes.  All of your grades in high school count.

Hi, Elfgurl:\n\nThere are a few options.\n\n1) Just do better in the future.  Every future grade that is higher than your current GPA contributes to raising it.\n\n2) Talk to your current teachers and ask them (even though it's really late in the year), if there's anything you can do before final exams (extra credit assignments, better preparation, etc.) to bring up your grade.  If you're borderline in any classes, sometimes that extra effort shown will prompt a teacher to push you a bit higher.\n\n3) If you can afford it (based on your academic requirements and cost of credits), pad your schedule this coming semester or summer with a couple "easy" classes.  A lot of students pile up on survey classes (e.g. Intro to Psychology, Intro to Political Science, Music History, etc.) in a single semester thinking they'll all be easy.  But these classes take a TON of reading.  Try to take one or two classes where you can learn something but you know you'll enjoy the subject matter and be able to do well without killing yourself.\n\n4) If you have a legitimate reason, you can try to go through your past and current course schedule, and determine if you're eligible for a "late withdrawal."  This will allow for the entire class and its grade to be removed entirely from your record, so the bad grade won't count against you.  Common reasons for this are mental or physical health related.  Be prepared though, that you'll probably need to get your advisor's signature, plus the course instructor's, and probably your college dean's signature.  You may also need to provide documentation and/or pay a processing fee.  (Not sure if this process would work if you're a high school student.)\n\nBy the way, other options are to go to a local community college to take classes that could also get your GPA up.  Unfortunately, when those classes transfer to a university, generally the points don't transfer.  They all come over as 0 points but full credit on a pass fail basis.  There are exceptions, but it depends on how fully integrated your university is with your community college system.\n\nGood luck!

A lot depends on how close to graduation you are.\nIf you are two semester or less, finish the health admin.\nthis will allow you to work in a hospital.\nYou can then work toward the RN.\nIf you are just starting the health admin then change to RN and follow your heart.\nFollow your heart either way!

assuming your school has a chapter, you will automatically be nominated when you meet the GPA standards.  You will then have to prove that you meet the other standards (citizenship, service) etc. and you will be evaulated by a committee of teachers.  Should you pass that evaluation, you will be invited to join.  (So don't tick off any teachers!)

Like the last person who answered, I work in higher ed as well...UC's...in admissions...and I can tell you this:  A "D" is not a passing grade.  You will never get credit for a class if you have a "D"...you may still be able to get in, but a "D" grade does not meet the "A-G Requirement."  Talk to your admissions counselor.

Yes, because your freshman year counts towards your total high school GPA. If you have a bad freshman GPA, then your high school average could be low.

You don't necessarily have to submit your former college transcripts, but you will have to rely solely on your high school grades to get you into the new school, and you'll have to repeat courses for which you've already earned credit.  \n\nBut you should know that most schools won't include your previous schooling in your GPA, it's like you're starting with a blank slate, and the new school's transcripts will only reflect credit earned in Courses X, Y and Z from the old school, not the grades earned.\n\nIt's up to you really, but given that you are 27, can you try applying as a mature student?  It would improve your chances of getting in.  Good Luck either way.

They always count, but they will really start counting in high school toward your GPA, I know this because I'm in 9th grade and I am really trying to keep it up

I didn't think you could, but http://www.actstudent.org/faq/answers/eligible.html shows that you can take it even if you have already graduated from high school.  I suppose that they won't say "no" to money (your fee).

If you're getting an A.S. degree, your high school education should not even come into question.  You'll be considered a transfer student, and the only transcripts and educational history information that matters for transfer student are the ones from college.  You probably don't even have to fill that information out on the application - I have yet to work for a university that did require it of transfer students, and I've worked for 3 different universities over the years.  As long as you keep your grades up, you should be fine.

I know where I go to school your GPA can be weighted by AP or dual-enrolment (college) classes.  That's the only way I know you can get above a 4.0.  Also, you don't have to get a 100% in all your classes to have a 4.0. You just have to have all A's.

My senior year. I had the most fun because I joined a few clubs and was more active in chorus. I was in a trio that won first in state and a triple trio that won second in state. I also had lots of friends and fun. Unfortunately, I had a little too much fun and my grades fell so badly that I almost didn't graduate. I barely made it, but at the last exam, I gave it my all and passed. If I would have only done that throughout all of high school, I would have been an honor student, along with winning lots of scholarships and going on to college. But, alas, I didn't. Don't mean to bum you out, but it's true. I had more freedom as a senior, turning 18 in the middle of the year. I didn't handle 18 too well. I hope you do better than I did. Study hard. Get the best grades you can. Join a couple of clubs. Have fun. You'll only do this once, then it's gone. Learn from one who's been there, done that. Be careful. Be safe. <*)))><

Just your high school grades.\n\nCoach

YES! I was in the same boat you are in now.  I went to community college and busted my butt to raise my grades. It is cheaper, and you don't have to worry about acceptance.  After 2 years of good performance, they didn't even look at my high school history.  I got a 4.0 in community college and was eligible to go to top colleges.  The only thing is...you really have to be committed to get in to med school.  If you still can't hack it in community college...med school isn't for you.  Get serious!\n\n\nBy the way...what the guy said about colleges not looking favorably on you in the sciences...that's not true.  I was a chemistry and geology double major and went on to great things.  I got lots of scholarships and now I have a great job. Don't listen to him!

You should contact the admissions department at Syracuse and talk to them about it. Because yes, your senior year grades do count. But a low grade in one course - if all your other grades remained strong - that one grade may not kill you. \n\nIf they say that it is enough to cause a problem, then do talk to them about what your options might be. These might include taking the class again in the summer at your school or a local college. \n\nTo make you feel a bit better, I got into Syracuse. All my grades were good, but for one - I got a D in French in my junior year. So maybe you'll be okay - or maybe not. Talk to them!\n\nGood luck. Don't freak yet.

GPA... honors means you graduated near the top of your class... some schools also have presdent's or dean's lists... these all relate to just how close to the top of your class you graduated... more impressive on your resume...
