<p>My freshman year wasn't too great, I got mostly B+'s (simply calculated 3.0, no plus grades are offered in my school.) in the first semester, then I brought up 2 or 3 of my classes to A's. I'd name specifics but I don't have my transcript with me. So my GPA ended up being about 3.2-3.3</p>
<p>My sophomore year I got 6 A's and 1 B first semester and 5 A's 2 B's second, rounding to about 3.8.</p>
<p>I'm currently a junior and I have 5 A's and one B so far, but that B is probably going to become an A soon. That rounds to about a 3.83, probably going to be a 4.0 by the end of junior year.</p>
<p>So my overall GPA will be around 3.6, will colleges look at my improvement in academics positively? </p>
<p>Here are my courses for 9-12(what I want to take).</p>
<p>Showing improvement is always better than not, but not as good as being strong throughout HS. In searching for schools, look for some that don’t include fr grades in their gpa calculation.</p>
<p>I’m sure it will be noticed. If you apply to colleges where gpa isn’t the only thing considered, then they’ll look at the other “stuff” and say that you’re gpa is going in the right direction. It may not be enough when compared to others who are applying to the same school, but it should be a positive.</p>
<p>In general, yes. At a relative handful of extremely selective, extremely famous colleges and universities, they may not view this improvement positively enough to help you clear the admissions bar; they may fill their entering classes with students who never stumbled, and run out of beds in the dorms and desks in the classrooms before they get to students like you. But at the overwhelming majority of colleges and universities in this country, including many that are very well regarded, admissions committees will see that after a somewhat less impressive start, you became quite a good student. They like good students.</p>
