<p>So ive heard that the NMSC wants you to have a consistently good academic performance if you want to get a national merit scholarship></p>
<p>The problem w/ me is, I did bad in the first semester of my freshman year(3.2GPA, which is very embarassingly bad) However i improved in the 2nd semester(3.625) in the first semester of my sophmore year right now i acheived a 3.857 weighted GPA, and I am sure i can get a unweighted 4.0 next semester and all the semesters after that.</p>
<p>WIll i simply not be considered by the NMSC because i did bad in my first semester of my freshman year even though i clearly improved later on, or will they take me into consideration because i showed improvement?</p>
