I went into 9th grade taking all honors classes but i got a lot of B's. Now I am in 10th grade and I have a few more A's and a few more B+'s. My weighted GPA right now is 5.01. If I maintain these grades with many AP and honors classes, what kind of colleges could i plan on getting into? Can I still get in to a really good college despite my not so great grades from 9th grade?

Keep your current grades up and do really well on the ACT/SAT, and you should be able to go to a decent school.

first of all, different colleges have different weighting systems. That means, some places might not even consider honors/AP classes in the GPA calculations. It's more important to get straight A's.
I would say with good standardized test scores, expect to get into at least a decent state school (umich, uva, ucla) if you can keep it up or turn it up a bit. The better schools don't look for grades necessarily. Everybody who applies to those schools have perfect records. The best way to get into those kinds of schools is through making yourself unique via extracurricular activities/competitions

You have a weighted GPA of 5.01 and you have to come on here and ask a question like this? Colleges only look at your High School GPA. High School is the one you want to keep a general GPA of minimum 4.0 if you can and you should be able to get into any College you apply to.

Schools usually look at your overall performance through high school. 5.01 GPA in the 10th is unbelieveable and to tell you the truth if you score high on the SAT or ACT exam/s you won't have any problem getting into any school that you want

You will be fine dear. People who get C's can go to a lot of colleges. People with a 3.5 can go almost anywhere. You will be able to attend Harvard for free if you keep up what you are doing now. You can't change the past, but you can always improve the future, so quit worrying about what you can't change, make sure your homework is done and get some good sleep before the morning comes.

not that impotant for UC schools, but thats only for california.
usually its sophmore up through the last 3 quarters of the senior yr that really count.
good grades are important, but you also need extra-curriculars.
usually stuff that shows that you can have a long term commitment.... thats great.
talk to your school councilor and make a college plan.
good luck!

If your GPA is weighed at 5.01, schools will be begging you to attend.
