<p>I had absolutely horrible grades for middle school from A's to C's. Most were B's. I've managed to turn myself around now with a solid mixture of A's and B+'s but I'm quite insecure about what effect my horrible middle school grades have on me.</p>
<p>Not only this but my EC's don't show up on paper well...</p>
<p>The grade trajectory matters. If you have inconsistent grades, they should be showing upward improvement. </p>
<p>It presents well that you have turned yourself around!</p>
<p>It’s more of a 80,85,83,91 type thing.</p>
<p>Perhaps you might get cut some slack if you are a boy. </p>
<p>Middle school boys tend, on average, not to have the the irritatingly perfectionist grades middle school girls have.</p>
