What marks do they look at?

Applying to College

<p>Hi guys...</p>

<p>I'm wondering how colleges will calculate my GPA and what marks they will look at. The problem lies in the fact that I haven't always been interested in college... Therefore I have a C in Gr 9 English and a A/B split for the rest of my grades until second term Sophomore. So will straight A's in Junior Year and Senior First Term with a challenging course load cancel out the mediocre frosh/soph grades? I'm just worried and need reassurance. I also wonder what classes they use to calculate it and if they weight the classes themselves.</p>

<p>So with all Frosh/Soph/Junior/Senior ALL CLASSES (Using A - 4, B - 3, C - 2):</p>

<p>3.76/4</p>

<p>Junior & Senior</p>

<p>4.0/4</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>It depends on the college...most college will only look at soph/junior year grades...</p>

<p>Totally untrue Gumba, it's the exceptional colleges that only look at those 2 years, the UCs are the only schools I know of that do. Princeton and Stanford, among top schools, are the only ones that look at all years except freshman.</p>
