<p>i transferred right in the middle of my freshman year and my averages tanked beyond belief. literally a 10 point different in numerical average and along with that a big dip in rank and GPA.
however, there is a huge upward trend in my grades from 9-12, and now it's better but still looks pretty low because of the earlier grades.
i was wondering if the admissions officers (at top tier colleges) would take this into more consideration than usual</p>
