How would Cornell view this?

<p>Salutations,</p>

<p>My weighted and unweighted GPA from the first three years of high school average up to around an 89% unweighted, and a 91% weighted. This is due to in part from crappy freshman and sophomore years (I only cared about passing, not so much passing with honors or anything stellar). </p>

<p>By junior year, I figured out what I wanted to do with my life and stepped up my game, but unfortunately I could only raise my total GPA by so much, which is why it is what it is. A 27 ACT by the end of junior year didn't really help with my confidence. </p>

<p>Now it's senior year and I'm finishing with a 94% unweighted and a 101.26% weighted GPA, while taking some of the hardest classes possible (IB classes). Would Cornell care more about my senior year GPA or my total GPA over the first three years of high school, considering what the situation is?</p>

<p>Hey Cornellian2015, I’m an ambassador for the university.</p>

<p>Please know that the people who review applications take into account a lot of things. What they want to see is who you are as an individual and the strengths you have. Basically you are more than numbers. With that being said try not to worry about your stats too much. As long as you submitted the best application you possibly could then acceptance or not you did your best. From the sound of things it seems you applied for the fall semester. Just wait until the acceptance letters come out to find out what the reviewers thought about your entire application. I wish you the best of luck!</p>
