<p>my GPA year by year including only core courses:</p>
<p>Freshman: 3.2 (1 honors course)
Sophomore: 3.52 (2 honors courses)
Junior: 3.87 (3 APs, 2 honors)
Cumulative: 3.53</p>
<p>My SAT is a 1410/2110 if that matters.</p>
<p>Is my 3.53 cumulative going to kill me?</p>
<p>Simple answer...no. Your SAT is high and your GPA is not too low. You will be fine.</p>
<p>also it shows an upward trend. and you sat is good</p>
<p>Your GPA got better as your classes got harder. I think that looks good.</p>
<p>Ya I agree, your SAT's will outweigh your freshman year courseload. I mean they report SAT scores so they have to remain consistent. lol.</p>
<p>I got in with 4 B's and 2 A's for both semesters of freshman year. Trust me, as long as you have an upward trend don't worry about it. (If it helps, I have friends who got in with lower gpa's and sat's than you) I currently attend NYU.</p>
<p>your freshman year isn't that important, don't worry</p>
<p>Most colleges are ok with low freshman GPA if you show an upward trend.
Good SATs</p>
<p>They can also overlook Sophmore, Junior and Senior years if they aren't good enough too!</p>
<p>thanks guys</p>
