<p>Ok, So I'm done with my freshman year in college, and am taking summer classes. however I did have a rough start freshman year both academically and socially
I currently have about a 2.6 G.P.A. overall from my 2 semesters( at least that leaves plenty of opportunity for improvement) My question is
does freshman year matter that much when it comes to grad school which my parents are encouraging me to go for? or will junior and senior years be the years colleges look at most like they do for high school.
also are there any tips for getting a good G.P.A. in college?
tips on doing good on tests, studying, and remembering tasks
anything would be appriciated
if you really need the information
I am at Michigan state univeristy and am majoring in economics</p>
<p>First things first. Make an appt with your counselor/academic support services in order to improve your subsequent semesters.</p>
<p>Once you near graduation, you can seek advice/counsel from professors in your dept. about your relative Grad school chances. Like admission to college, the better profile you can project (GPA, transcript, research, GMAT/GREs), the more selective a grad program you can consider.</p>
