Senior year grades

Applying to College

<p>How important are senior year grades for bc, villanova, George Washington, etc.?
For example, if I apply after early action, can a good senior year gpa(1st semester, like 4.2) partially make up for a 3.75 junior year?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I can’t speak for those specific schools, but generally colleges like to see an upward trend in terms of gpa. So a good senior year gpa might not completely make up for a lower gpa before (not that 3.75 is low), but it definitely can have an impact.</p>
