My GPA: 3.8444...
I need to raise my GPA to enter either the CIT, MIT, Berkeley or the UNC. I will need to work harder, but also the PreAPs will help me get in, since they are harder. 

REFLECTION
I have learned that I could be accepted in many colleges, but if I would like to go to MIT I will need to have a perfect 4 GPA. I also learned that public schools have half or even a third of a price for residents of that state. I did not know that the University of North Carolina offered bioengineering and that the CIT existed. I now know that CIT is one of the best options for me. Also, I learned that the CIT requires a higher SAT than MIT.

This motivates me to work harder to achieve a better GPA, and to eventually get high SAT scores since I now know that I am missing just a bit to reach the GPA admission of most colleges.
