<p>In 9th grade I had a 3.95
10th I got a 3.9
11th I got a 3.9</p>
<p>In 10th/11th I signed up for a total of five APs/Honors classes each year (so 10 altogether) as opposed to the ONE honors class I took in 9th grade, so obviously the material was much harder. Will this be looked at as a bad trend (because generally colleges look for upward trends)?</p>
<p>My overall GPA is something like a 3.92, if it matters.</p>
<p>Anyway, will this hurt me for top schools?</p>
<p>I don't think you understand what a downward trend is.
Your grades are really good. Do not freak out about a 3.92!</p>
<p>No. OMG, you need to relax. The fact that you took AP classes and got that grade looks better than 1 honors class.</p>
<p>OMG, this is such abysmal performance. Shame on you.</p>

<p>what's a "drastic drop" that one would need to worry about?</p>
<p>yup you can forget about going to a top school</p>
<p>If your trend's bad... then I'm screwed</p>
<p>Lol, nice. What about a trend like:
Fresh: 3.95
Soph: 3.75
Junior: 3.9</p>
<p>Would that be considered..."bad"? Soph year was BRUTAL >_<</p>
