Not sure if I’m putting this in the right forum…
I was wondering how much, generally speaking, upwards vs. downwards trends matter to college admissions. For example, if an applicant has had nearly all A’s since freshman year, but a slight downward trend, does this hurt the applicant significantly?
If the sophomore and junior courses are rigorous, it shouldn’t be uncommon to see a slightly downward trend (e.g. a few B’s) from straight A’s in freshman year. However, it could be a problem if the courses are mostly at the regular level.
Thank you so much- I definitely needed that reassurance! @goldenbear2020
