<p>Hey guys, I've got a problem.</p>
<p>So my grades freshman and sophomore year were not very good at all, my report card was riddled with b's. However, my junior year, my grades improved, but I still had three b's on the year. This semester, I plan to make all a's (i'm off to a great start, confident that i can do it). So, should I apply ED, while sacrificing the opportunity to show an even better upward trend in grades? Or should i apply RD with an opportunity to better the trend? </p>
<p>Thanks a million, gang</p>
