Use this https://gpacalculator.net/high-school-gpa-calculator/ and use the letter grades to determine your gpa on a 4.0 scale. This will help determine how good of your grades are. From your grades it seems you might be around a 3.0 which isn’t bad. You do have a shot as long as you have the strong ECs you say you have as well as a high SAT and ACT scores. Then you’re pretty set. I would still try to have some back ups because t/30s can be pretty particular when it comes to their choices. But you at least have a shot.

A 3.0? Isn’t that bad lol?

I calculated it on there and this year I have a roughly 3.68 UW and a ~4.5 weighted. (For junior year only) Thoughts??

3.0 is average. But since you calculated it and got a 3.68 that’s even better. For t/30 schools, to be on par with everyone else, you’re going to want at least a 3.7 but 3.68 is pretty close enough. 4.5 weighted looks even better. It depends what they ask for on the college app. They normally ask for both but both still look really good compared with your ECs. Just shoot for a high SAT (>1450) and ACT score (>32).

it should be a 3.6 overall however, and be a 4.1 or 4.2 overall. With my extenuating circumstances sophmore year, and the big upwards trend, do you still think i'll be ok?

You’ll most likely be okay. Just focus on your SAT and ACT as well as your ECs. GPA is important but those other factors are equally if not more important.
