How Can I Improve My GPA Fast (Without Selling Your Soul)?

Step one: skip the soul-selling. It’s frowned upon in admissions. Instead, zero in on the big-impact stuff: prioritize assignments that weigh heavily, crush final exams, and don’t be afraid to ask for extra help—may that be from your teachers, peers, or even a tutor. Teachers and mentors appreciate students who put in effort, and office hours aren’t just for decoration. Also, consider strategic studying: raise that B+ to an A in a class with lots of credits, and it’ll boost your GPA more than an easier class would. And if you have time? Try retaking a course you flubbed. It’s the academic equivalent of a redemption arc.
