<p>So I'm really stressing out about my GPA (3.5). Thing is, the only real things bringing that down are the slew of HS classes in math I took before Freshman year (all B's). Take those out, and it's a 3.7 something. Will colleges take those early grades with a grain of salt? Thanks.</p>
<p>8th and 9th grade grades do not really matter per se, but in many cases they do factor in your GPA. However, some schools don’t count 9th grade at all when they recalculate your GPA.</p>
