<p>What about if the GPA was a 3.62 with an interesting trend. Its flat through sophomore year, drops like a brick S1 of Junior year but spikes to an all-time high semester 2 of junior year? </p>

<p>Semester 1 of Junior year I got a 3.33. It brought down my average .04. </p>

<p>Although, I had 11 APs by Junior Year, and 4 in senior year. </p>
