<p>I am a junior, I had a 93UW Freshman year, I took 2 honors classes, no AP's were offered
I had an 89UW Sophomore year, I took one honors, and AP World which I got a 4 on and a 90 in the class</p>
<p>This year im taking AP LIT, APUSH, and AP Spanish</p>
<p>The only reason why my GPA went down so much last year because I took Chem in 10th, and I finished with a 72. </p>
<p>Im sure my GPA will go up this year but does the fact that my GPA went down 4 points from a year destroy any chances for good schools</p>
<p>It really depends on the whole big picture. If your grades this year are better, than that 72 really shouldn’t matter much. Also, there’s really no single make-it-or-break-it think on the application, so one grade really won’t kill you. Of course, good ECs and test scores still won’t cover up a bad GPA, but I wouldn’t sweat it…then again, I’m a little unfamiliar with the way you have your GPA set up, I’m on the 4.0 scale, so it could be a bigger deal.</p>
