Senior Year Grades

Applying to College

<p>I've searched and looked through a couple of topics on the importance of mid-year senior grades but I haven't really seen anything that pertains to my situation. Generally people say that it is important to keep your grades up but they don't specify to what degree. </p>

<p>Freshman to Junior year:
UW GPA - 3.74
W GPA - 4.31
Class Rank - 34/351</p>

<p>Senior year:
First Quarter UW GPA - 3.29
Second Quarter UW GPA - 3.43
(Senior year is all A's and B's, no C's or D's)</p>

<p>Would this hurt my application to colleges (specifically the University of Virginia) or is it okay to slip this much?</p>

<p>All A’s and B’s should be okay. I mean, it doesn’t look great, but it alone isn’t going to get you rejected.</p>

<p>There is no specific “degree” to be cited. Admissions isn’t an exact science. There’s no complex rubric.</p>

<p>A good friend of mine from high school cruised through grades 9-11 with excellent grades, then took to certain extracurriculars that hurt his GPA senior year. He nevertheless got into UVA from out of state. His standardized tests were top notch, however.</p>
