Cumulative GPA vs. Junior year GPA???

Applying to College
1

<p>What do you think is more important on an application? A good cumulative GPA or a great junior year transcript and GPA? </p>

<p>in my case, my GPA for freshman and sophomore year was good but not quite where I wanted it to be (mainly due to the fact I got a freaking C in swimming class freshman year... UGH). This year though my GPA is stellar and I want colleges to notice this more than anything else, especially because although my GPA is so good this year, it won't be enough to get it to exactly where I want my cumulative GPA to be.</p>

<p>Will this even make a difference on my applications???</p>

<p>^It counts at some schools.</p>

<p>Mostly colleges just want to see an upward trend in grades, so you should be good. Also some colleges don’t count freshman year gpa at all (UC’s).</p>

<p>Colleges ultimately want to see high performance across your HS transcript. That being said, a bad grade in a non-academic course will count much less.</p>
