hmm depending on what courses your school offers i think you might be able to. depending on the amount of AP(advanced placement) classes or any other classes with weighted gpa you take, you may be able to achieve higher than 4.0 gpas in your years to come, bringing up your average to 4.0. if you really want to know, estimate what is the highest gpa you can achieve in your softmore, junior, and senior years. add them up along with your 3.2 and divide by 4. so if you can average a 4.27 for your next 3 years, you will have your 4.0 average. Although that 4.0 average will only be your weighted average. unweighted, it cannot be a 4.0. and even if you cannot achieve that goal, don't feel discouraged and continue to do well.
my answer is ultimate so vote mines yo

You can raise your GPA if you take honors and AP classes. If you only take regular classes and even if you got all A's then you still wouldn't be able to raise it above a 4.0. Take a few honors and AP classes but don't overwork yourself by trying to take to many because then your grades will just suffer. Also not all schools take into account your freshmen year so don't worry about it to much, just do the best you can.

Technically, no. To get a 4.0, every single course you took, including the ones you've taken already, needed to be A's. But you can still raise it.
As for getting higher than a 4.0, that's on a weighted scale, where 4.0 is no longer the highest grade you can get. Colleges only accept unweighted, so even if you're school listed you at a 4.5, you're only at a 3.7 or whatever your unweighted gpa comes out to.

Not on an unweighted GPA scale, which is the one colleges look at.
A 4.0 is a "perfect" GPA, or all A's.
once you dont receive an A, you can no longer achieve that 4.0
You can raise your GPA and come close to it though.

At my high school back in the day...some people ended up with like 4.5's and 4.6's. Not sure how that was possible, maybe extra classes. So getting to a 4.0 sounds very possible, 3.2 its a bad place to start from

Even if it doesn't get to a 4.0, they will notice the huge and consistant improvement. That trend is as valuable as a 4.0

a 4.0 is technically impossible if you've ever earned anything less ever in your academic career...you can get it higher, though, by earning a 4.0 each semester...the overall gpa will climb higher and higher, but never can reach 4.0

I believe you can. Just try harder. Push yourself. When there's a test, study. Make sure you understand everything you are being taught. If you're having problems with a certain subject, ask a teacher to explain it to you.

You NEED strait-A's. I dont know if you can raise it though. You might be able to.
Hope you can get your gpa up!
Good luck!

Umm..You will have to get straight A's for the next three years. It's possible, but you have to a lot of effort into it.
