<p>hey guys i was wondering if you all might help me with something</p>

<p>im my 9th grade year I had 3 B's and one lousy C+. that was just semesters though. I got and A in all of them the next semester. In 10th grade I mad 34 on the ACT and had all A's (93-100). In my junior year I had ALL A's and took the sat II and made 800 on math, 800 on verbal, 780 on chemistry, and 790 on physics. I have taken 10 honors classes so far and my gpa is 3.91 unweighed and 4.22 weighed. Did 9th grade killl my chances?</p>

<p>No! Upward grade trends are good.</p>

<p>Context... everything, every single little thing on your MIT application is affected by context.</p>

<p>The classes that you got those grades in matter a lot.</p>

<p>i also have an upward trend but not until second semester of soph year. i had mostly b's, some a's and no c's but it went for 3 semesters. then i got straight a's in all honors and 3 ap classes. </p>

<p>if you got poor grades in honors classes, but then perfect grades in ap classes, does it matter that you did bad in the lower level classes? i mean that i did bad in easier classes and good in harder classes, do colleges expect it to be the other way around? whatever, its not like i can change my frosh grades.</p>
