Which has a higher precedence?

Applying to College
1

<p>Junior GPA or Cumulative GPA?</p>

2

<p>Its not "GPA"; its academic rigor... did you take harder classes your soph, junior and senior year and your grade went up/down just slightly? If so then you are fine. Cumulative GPA is very misleading</p>

3

<p>I'm not asking about the rigor. My course contains both rigor and normal classes.</p>

<p>Say i have like a 98 average my junior year yet i had like 90 averages in my freshman and sophomore year, would colleges look more upon the 98 or the 92.66?</p>

4

<p>they probably consider your cumulative more important, but they will recognize the fact that it went up junior year, which will help. so i guess in the long run they're sort of equally important... but it depends on how you do senior year, too.</p>

5

<p>Junior year with higher grades and harder classes will look alot better than the two previous years</p>
