<p>Hi all,
So I'm a student hoping to get into Harvard..
I have strong ECs, many leadership positions, I play on a varsity sports team, and have won a few notable awards.<br>
My GPA stood as a 4.0 for sophomore and junior year BUT my Freshman year grades weren't that great.
Most were A's but I received 3 B's... Do you think the improvement in my grades will do me any good, or nay?</p>
<p>Upward trend is good but Harvard has a very low acceptance rate and you are competing with students who never received B’s. If your dream is to go to Harvard then go. Nobody is stopping you. Just know there are more factors to consider than EC’s and GPA. </p>
