<p>gpa doesn’t really matter much unless you go to a super rigorous program for gifted students that happens to curve to a C and you pull a 4.0 there. Not too much issue with your stats besides not knowing what your ap grades will be but your ec’s seem pretty standard so you’ll have to find some way to differentiate them in essays etc.</p>

<p>as for senior year grades, colleges adopt the policy your school chooses towards gpa calculation</p>
