Would this be considered improvement?

Applying to College

<p>I know this might sound like a stupid question... but please bear with me.</p>

<p>Sophomore year GPA - 3.8 // 3.0
Junior year GPA 3.17 // 3.8</p>

<p>WEIGHTED</p>

<p>I've heard that a drop in Junior year grades is TERRIBLE to the adcomms and an improvement in the Junior year is really good... would my situation be just that? Because technically... i dropped in Sophomore year and improved in Junior year...</p>

<p>God... how am I gonna explain that HUGE drop in the middle. Would the Adcomms notice it and think theres something wrong? Would I be "hit in the face" because of such a HUGE difference.?</p>

<p>BTW, I am dying to get into UC Davis and I have no ELC (I've read somewhere that UCD puts a HUGE emphasis on ELC) and this situation.</p>

<p>anyone...?</p>

<p>Don't worry, some people I know had 3.0s that got accepted to Davis and there SATs were above average nationally, so it isn't too hard. </p>

<p>What are you rr SAT/ACT scores along with SAT IIs? Also calculate your UC GPA, for Soph. and Junior Year.</p>

<p>UCD is going to be a reach. What they will see is inconcistency. More importantly, your GPA, is low for the school and your SAT is below averge. You should apply, but also apply to I, SC, R and Merced.</p>
