Answer 2

yep.  change your study habits, do all of your homework and go to any extra credit sessions or excursions, etc that are offered.

in short. make an effort to be an excellent student, despite whate other people think or do.  

also, hang out with the smart kids. join the clubs they are in. do alot of extracurricular activities, clubs, whatever.

college admissions will typically look at Junior and Senior year GPA in addition to overall.  Mathematically you could bring it up to get in a great school.  Also, schools look at things like Extracurriculars! do some stuff. make honor role. get As, join what you can, no matter how lame it might seem at first.

Go to a used bookstore and get a guide on the SATs too. SAT scores are very important for good colleges.

By showing the initiative of posting here, you are showing you have the will and desire to achieve.  Be your best self, get out there and achieve. dont be afraid to ask teachers for help or go to tutoring or study hall or stay in the library at lunch.  if teachers see you are giving 110% you will be an A student. b/c thats more than 99% of your classmates are doing.

ps ask your guidance counselor for an appointment.  see if there are any COLLEGE courses you can do in addition to your work to count towards hs credit. you could do them during a summer semester. would help you immensely by succeeding at that in addition to HS. would look really good too on your applications.

make a list of clubs at your school and go join 4 or 5 of them.  get to know the people there.

do all your homework!
