Freshman year is bringing my GPA down?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

My coursework for freshman year was chill. I was in math honors and ended up have a 3.5 unweighted GPA and a 3.55 weighted GPA (I DID not do so hot in the class).

I decided to take 5 honor classes sophomore year and did well in most of them. My unweighted GPA is a 3.61 and my weighted GPA is 3.99.

How much emphasis is put on freshman year? :frowning:

Have a nice day!

It depends on the school. Some schools don’t look at it at all (Princeton, for example), while a lot just look at it as a point for growth. As long as you continue on an upward trend, it shouldn’t hurt you too badly.
