Is this an upward trend?

Applying to College
1

<p>One B a semester (2 total) freshman year followed by all A's sophomore/jr. year. </p>

<p>Course Rigor is all honors 1AP freshman/soph year, all AP one honors for jr year</p>

2

<p>The GPA’s would be</p>

<p>3.83, 3.83 4.0, 4.0, 4.0, 4.0 avg: 3.943</p>

<p>or 4.55 4.55 4.73 4.73, 4.92, 4.92 weighted</p>

<p>How much does this help if at all?</p>

<p>You could call it an upward trend, or simply a strong record throughout. A couple of Bs in fr year is not a big deal.</p>

<p>Well, some people on CC seem to think that an upward trend is something that colleges really care about, I’'m not sure how much of that is exaggeration, but would colleges consider it an upward trend?</p>

<p>I would not. An upward trend is preferred to random good/bad grades but it is NOT preferred to grades strong throughout.</p>
