Thank you!

If you don't mind me asking, were they AP courses, or were they from an actual college in your area?

With the excitement of college admissions coming as a high school junior, I am ready to start looking into nursing programs that create excellent members of the healthcare field. Then again, I still find myself worrying about my present high school transcript. My grades are nothing near deplorable, but they still are not amazing. After my freshman year experience, in which I received a C in algebra 1 due to my complete laziness and lack of wanting to take math first period, I quickly realized that I probably would jeopardize my future if I kept that up. Sophomore year took a better approach at grades and my math grade boosted to a B (geometry). Saying that, I must also point out that both science courses received B+. Still, my lower classman unweighted GPA sits at 3.1. This year (junior) my grades have been boosted to where I am (mostly) satisfied, with A's in Chemistry, Algebra 2 and Anatomy and Physiology, with a slew of A-'s and a B+ in a slew of other courses. It should also be noted that I have had a stable job since the start of Freshman year at a daycare center, along with plans to volunteer at a local hospital this coming summer, along with a member of the school's anatomy club. Still, I have to wonder, what will nursing schools (BSN) think of that? If all goes as planned, I hope to end high school with a 3.5 GPA, with mostly Honors courses, and 2-3 AP's. Also, do any of you have any recommendations in what I could do to strengthen my application. And finally, by reading the end of this, you have survived my lengthy high school career, and for that, I must thank you!
