<p>Suppose I have a HS GPA of 3.55-3.6UW and 4.3W.</p>
<p>Also suppose that I have a Sophmore/Junior/Senior GPA of 3.85UW and 4.6W.
(I was a poor Freshman student)</p>
<p>I included an essay describing this change but how do you think big colleges will see it? Schools such as: Cornell, U of Chicago, Boston College.</p>
<p>Do you think they'll consider my overall gpa or my huge upward trend?</p>
<p>Describe in detail!</p>
<p>Thanks!!!</p>
<p>Bump due to inactivity.</p>
<p>Bumpity bump!</p>
<p>So I guess no one cares about upward trends. Bump.</p>
<p>They do like to see the upward trend, if you are not performing at a high level all throughout high school. Unless you have a good reason, don’t bother explaining the trend.</p>
<p>Are you really going to waste your essay justifying your scores?
Granted, I screwed up my freshman and sophomore years but whatever.
I don’t know what they consider, probably overrall, rank, gpa and course load.</p>
<p>No no, my essay isn’t like that. Sorry for the misconception. I have a short write in the “additional information” section that has to do with influences and changes in ways of thinking. It’s not blunt or anything like that.</p>
