<p>I ended freshman year with an awful gpa (1.7) due to the fact that I put in absolutely no effort, would it be possible to redo some of my freshman classes to change that?</p>

<p>Sophmore year I got a 3.0, but now, if I get around a 3.5 junior and senior year my gpa would still only be around a 3.0, which from what I've seen, isn't a gpa most colleges accept. (I am taking honors classes for my junior year, which will help with class rank , but not my gpa)</p>

<p>Well, it’s definitely a good idea to show an upward trend, GPA-wise, so your improved GPA will look good to colleges. I’m afraid I don’t know the policy for re-taking freshman year classes, though. Good luck!</p>

<p>Talk to your counselor to find out. I know that at my son’s school, students can retake classes in which they received a D or F.</p>
