GPA Progression?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Princeton University

<p>Okayyyy so i am an rising senior in high school and i went to a pretty challenging College Preparatory school from 6th-10th grade that prepares kids planning to go into the IB program. So when i was there i didn't really realize that there was a such thing as GPA until like 9th grade, but as an 8th graders I took 3 pre-ap high-school classes. So as i am entering into my senior year, my High school transcript (only GPA) reads something like this:</p>

<p>7th grade: 4.0 (I took Algebra)
8th grade: 3.733 (Pre-AP)
9th grader: 3.91 (Pre-Ap) stuff
10th grader: 3.99 (Pre-Ap) stuff
11th grade: 4.0 (I switched schools and I took all IB classes and i hoping to get my diploma next year)</p>

<p>I don't really care about chances because i am gonna rely on my own hardwork and some heavy prayer rather than statistics.</p>

<p>BUT I was wondering whether colleges, specificallly Princeton in this case, will look at my 8th and 9th grade classes as much as my 10th and 11th grade classes. And will they see the progression in grades and take that into consideration?? Or will my 8th grade scores screw me over?</p>

<p>But yeah just looking to see your opinions! Thanks! (: </p>

<p>I already posted this is in the Yale thread but i am curious to know what other peopel think as well....just to be certain.</p>

<p>I highly doubt that Princeton will look poorly on your 8th grade grades (much less your 7th). Many colleges do not even consider your freshman grades (Stanford is one… Not sure about Princeton). You have a great GPA, do don’t sweat it! They care most about 11th. </p>

<p>Help me out with my question! </p>

<p>Alright thanks so much! I was freaking out there for some time. I will work on my senior year grades once school starts so I will continue that “progress.” LOL. But yeah i posted on your question. [:</p>
