Currently a sophomore and i have a 3.3 gpa i was wondering if i could get it to a 3.8+ by senior year?
Assuming the 3.3 is from freshman year and does not include this semester:
2 * 3.3 + 4 * 4.0 divided by 6 semesters = 3.77 right before senior year (aka college application time).
Freshman year gpas do not factor into your cummulative gpa, just don’t make a 3.3 this year, sophomore year does count. If for this semester so far you have that, then bring your grades up, its not the end of the semester yet.
@haily5799 no, freshman year GPA does factor in. The only exceptions I can think of off the top of my head are Stanford, Princeton, and the UCs.
@hailey5799 Not to mention, when your school sends in transcripts, your entire academic record is on there. And every high school in America, if not the world, factors freshman grades into HS GPA.
There are some schools that don’t count freshman year GPA. Stanford may be one of them, or I could be misremembering. But in general, freshman year does count.
Most better schools will note that improvement. Stop worrying about what is done. Think forward!
