<p>I kind of gave up hope of some of my schools after freshman year, since my GPA flat out sucked, a 3.2, but when I caught wind of schools like USC and Michigan recalculating GPA w/o freshman stats in there, it gave me a ton of hope. Also, my grade trend has gone from a 3.2, to a 3.6, to a 4.2, to a (most likely) 4.5 senior year. I can't think of a better grade trend than that. Also, I took progressively harder classes each yea.r</p>
