<p>Okay, so junior year is "tough" and from the time you could add fractions until junior year, you've gotten straight A's (yes, colleges don't care what grades you got in 4th grade, just as an emphasis)...but what if you suddenly had a drop in grades. </p>

<p>My gpa, weighted used to be about 4.24 and after both semesters of junior year, well...just for junior year, UNWEIGHTED it's 3.57 but weighted it's 4.14...would colleges think you started slacking off in junior year, particulary...UCSD perhaps??</p>

<p>By the way, I took one honors and 3 APs this year. THANKS</p>

<p>For Ivies I'd be afraid if I were you, but for UCSD nothing to worry about. As long as your SAT's (including SAT II's) are solid, you have nothing to worry about. By solid I would suggest 2000+ & 660+ SAT II's, although people are rejected w/ higher stats & rejected w/ lower stats.</p>
