improvement in grades

Applying to College
1

<p>say I have a 3.4 unweighted gpa-- not so great considering the colleges i deserve to go to (based on intelligence/ drive)</p>

<p>say I get straight A+'s the first marking period of my senior year</p>

<p>would that matter/ could that be a deciding factor in admissions? or is it already too late</p>

<p>has anyone else gotten into a top school with straight A+'s their senior year?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>i heard that many schools dont see your first semester grade...</p>

<p>i'm going to send it in with my application and have my guidance counselor write it in the rec letter- not wait for them to do it automatically in the midyear report</p>
