<p>My freshman year I didn't do very well. I had a 3.29 GPA, however in both my Sophmore and Junior years I had a 4.0 GPA. Basicly it was because Freshman year I had no focus or goals and didn't know wheather or not I even wanted to go to college. Is there any way I could use this as an advantage? If I get straight A's this year, which I plan to I should have a 3.79 GPA I THINK!!! How much do you think my Freshman year will affect me?</p>
<p>the same thing happened to me. while they love to see growth, they would prefer a constant. but a 3.79 is still very good and you can get into a great school with that</p>
<p>Some schools don’t even look at 9th grade. (UCs for example.) Good job finding focus in 10th!</p>
<p>Rising trend is very good especially when you keep it up for 2 years. Your freshman grade will be ignored at most colleges. However, it may affect your rank which takes into account of your freshman year.</p>
