Had a 2.75 freshman year which put my GPA in a hole, then turned it up Sophomore-Junior Years with a combined 3.5 in my schools AP/Honors program. My counselor will talk about my great turnaround in her recommendation.
UW:3.2 W:3.3
Had only one C after freshman year in 11th grade AP Macroeconomics.
My schools weighting system is strange in which theirs no more than a .1 of a difference between the two. So the highest unweighted that can be acheived is 4.1
I'm expecting to have a 3.8 senior year.</p>
