<p>My freshmen year my gpa unweighted was 2.0 and sophomore year it was 1.82, meaning my current gpa is 1.9. I really want to get into college for track and my stats are pretty good just not my grades. Also, the required gpa for ncaa after 2016 is 2.3 and I'm a junior. I was wondering if I bucked down for the last two years and got a 3.5+ unweighted gpa in junior year and senior year (before applying) and got atleast a 2.4, would I be able to get into a D1 state college, specifically in Pennsylvania because I've heard colleges do like upwards trends.</p>
<p>Also when should I start contacting coaches, I don't want to at the moment because my grades are bad from the past two years and I know my track performance is going to dramatically increase this year. </p>
