<p>Ok, this question isn't as stupid as it may seem, hear me out. How would GU look at a student who will have a below-average GPA for an RD application to GU (~3.74 from one of Connectiut's best public schools), but a significant upward trend throughout high school? Are GU admissions spartan about GPAs, or will they largely negate my freshman year grades in light of the high grades and AP courses I've taken since?</p>
