Middle school grades

<p>I'm a junior now, but until midway through my sophomore year I acted as though like the point of school was to see what a could be begotten with a little effort as possible. My GPA in 8th grade was 2.1. Now I've gotten on track (9th: 2.7; 10th: 3.5; 11th: est'd 3.8 or 4.0). Freshman year my grades were 1 A, 2 Bs and 3 Cs and I haven't gotten any grade lower than a B+ since. My question is: when colleges look at my transcript my D- in online Spanish I and C in Algebra I from 8th grade will be on there, along with my original 74 on my state end of grade exam in Alg I (with a 94 on my make up). I know my freshman year will likely still be taken into a account and will still carry weight, but will the high school classes I took in middle school matter? (They aren't calculated into my GPA)</p>

<p>No. Nada. Nein.</p>

<p>No it won’t matter. And just keep in mind its a positive thing to see that you’ve really matured and improved</p>

<p>They won’t see your middle school grades and many schools don’t even count freshmen grades.</p>

<p>thank you all for the input!!</p>

<p>Some of my nastier middle school teachers used to threaten this. It was a complete f***ing lie, and still is.</p>

<p>Colleges only ask for your high school transcripts, and they only look at transcripts they ask for.</p>

<p>Oh yeah, my entire middle school transcript isn’t on there, but I took some classes for high school credit in middle school so they get tacked onto my high school transcript right above my 9th grade classes with a parenthetical note, (HS-Credit)</p>
