<p>How significant is it? If i struggled somewhat in my first two years of HS but got straight A's my junior year how favorable do colleges look on that?</p>
<p>Most colleges will see an upward trend as better than getting straight As. But, the lower GPA will hurt. I'd say you're slightly worse off than someone who got As throughout, but not much.</p>
<p>I'll say they may just look at your application overall. I mean say a student freshmen year got mostly C's and D's, then Sophomore year got mosty C's and B's and now Junior year have all A's. Would they overlook a student who mostly got A's and B's throughout the whole school year and Junior year got mostly all A's ( and both students take same class etc...). So, more like there is no reward base off seeing an upward trend. Though likelyhood of getting into a well respected school increase. ( Sorta word it right)</p>
<p>i completely disagree with armageddon. its great that you are on an upward trend, but i dont believe you stand anywhere near the same position as some kids who have gotten straight A's throughout high school. consistent A's are better than struggling and then getting A's, but you will be better off than someone who has always been an A/B student</p>
<p>^^^ I pretty much agree. If straight As in jr year is good, how could straight As frosh, soph AND jr year be worse? But I'm not sure that OP will necessarily be better off than the consist A/B student - - especially if by struggling OP means some grades of C and maybe even a D.</p>
<p>I don't see how the OP ( what does it stand for again?) would be better off then a person who made A/ B's throughout their whole high school year.</p>
