<p>Im a freshman in college and I wanted know, will an adcom pay attention to an upward trend in HS grades, and would it matter?</p>
<p>My HS grades were like this:</p>
<p>Fres: ~2.5
Soph:~2.5
Junior:~3.5
Senior:~3.8</p>
<p>And considerring I should have a 4.0 through 36 credits, how detrimental would those fresh and soph years be to my app? </p>
<p>Thanks for all advice.</p>
<p>The more selective colleges will pay attention to the upward trend you had in HS. And, it does matter, but less so after you have a year of college under your belt (assuming the 4.0 and 36 credits).</p>
<p>Colleges love it when folks pull themsevles up by their bootstraps, darling op. Are you doing any neat-o EC's and the like to help things along?</p>
<p>I've got good job experience and I'm still working on some internships, and I also do some political stuff. But its still a work in progress</p>
<p>Dude, firebird74t, you seem to be rocking things hard. Good luck. Remember to do a nice write up of all of this when you transfer and all.</p>
<p>peaceout</p>
<p>Excellent trend and I certainly think colleges will take note. You should find a way to mention it under "additional information" on your apps if it doesn't happen to come up in your essays.</p>
