<p>I've often seen comments about the importance of upward trends in transcripts. Essentially that a couple bad grades in Freshman year won't hurt you that much if your grades are solid Junior year. My case is a little bit different. These are my grades thus far.</p>

<p>Now, my own reflection on my grades is that they took a slight dip in S2 of Sophomore year and S1 of Junior year, however I think a solid S2 of Junior year and potentially a great S1 of Senior year would make up for it. What are your own opinions on this, and how might colleges look at my situation?</p>
