varying gpas

<p>How does an admissions officer look at a gpa that was good but not great freshman and soph year, but got really good junior year and the fall term of senior year?</p>

<p>generally, as long as the trend is upward, it should be ok</p>

<p>does penn look at your fall term grades (for senior year) when you apply ed? Also, when figuring your overall gpa can you use your fall term grades?</p>

<p>Since the deadline for ED is before your fall term grades for senior year are known, I don't see how you can report them.</p>

<p>the deadline is nov 1, so when do they actually start looking at your application?</p>

<p>You can't report your own senior first quarter grades, and the official GPA on your transcript will not reflect them, but many schools call ED applicants' GCs to request them.</p>

<p>Can you specifically request your guidance counselor to send the grades ?</p>

<p>At my school guidance would send your first quarter grades if and only if you asked them to do so.</p>

<p>I think I am going to need to send them, to make up for my freshmen and sophomore year grades.</p>

<p>im in the same boat lol, im a rising junior but my freshman grades sucked. Mostly Bs, but my 10th grade was kool, 1 B, and 11th grade should be all As. Hopefully grades wont be a problem.</p>
