how much do trends matter?

Applying to College

<p>im just wondering because my grades have been very sporadic. Usually high in the fall and a little bit lower in the spring (low by like 1-3 points on a 100 scale).</p>

<p>do colleges look at trends in gpa or by subject area (eg: english, math, etc)?</p>

<p>Colleges look for trends over the span of your HS career, not within one year. For instance, they will be somewhat forgiving of lower gpa fr year if each year after that a student shows improvement.</p>
