<p>Dear College Confidential People,</p>
<p>I have a question about GPA stratification.
First some background info,
I attend a college prep boarding school in Santa Barbara, and when I got there as a freshman, I had a bit of a hard time adjusting.
Hard Time Adjusting=Bad GPA Freshman Year.
Then comes along sophomore year, where I was supposed to experience a slump. Fortunately I did not, but there was not that much improvement.
Sophomore=Okay GPA
This last year was where I actually started to WORK and stop blaming others for my failures. Therefore my grades skyrocketed. Plus I was finally allowed to take AP's this year and I took what would be considered a typically "hard" junior year.
Plus, I am currently taking two summer courses (Intro to Sociology and Math2A at UCI (it isn't some selective high-school program, but merely the summer session designed for undergrad students of UCI)</p>
<p>But, the problem is that in the end, when my cumulative GPA is calculated, my freshman and sophomore years really bog me down (think what could be a low A/high A- to a High B). I mean, if I were to graph my GPA change, it would look like an exponential growth graph. So, college confidential, it's your call: What will colleges think?</p>
<p>thanks,
bryan</p>
