Not much. Your high school GPA is very important, but your freshman year is probably the least important. If your grades were bad that year, but improved, write a separate note to the school explaining why that happened and why that means they should accept you Most colleges won't even look at freshman year, but if you were falling behind and made a significant improvement they will like that. I've heard that nowadays, more than ever. Stanford has actually started paying attention to 7th grade grades. Soooo yea. But not all colleges have started doing this, nor will they anytime soon. But just remember... The two answers above are incorrect in most circumstances. There are a few schools that ignore 9th grade grades, but only a few. The rest look at cumulative performance beginning in high school. A rising trend helps, but will not completely offset a bad, 9th grade performance.

Is a cumulative GPA just for specific year or all high school years?

Your overall high school GPA will include all of your years at high school. However, when applying to colleges, different rules apply. Obviously, the standards of all colleges are different, however, most are the same. Most colleges only look at your GPA from sophomore year and junior year. Freshman year is glanced at, but not given much importance to, and senior year doesn't matter much because by the time you're a senior, you'll already have been accepted into a college or rejected by it. However, that does not mean the senior year is unimportant. If the colleges see a sudden change in your grades...for whatever reason...slacking, "senior-itis", they can still kick you out before you even enter. The GPA necessary for attending varies with each college. However, in most places, colleges do not look at the grades you receive for physical education (PE). That part is normally left out of your GPA for colleges. Yet to answer the main question, when you graduate from high school...your overall GPA is determined by all four years of your school...the GPA that is on your transcript.


If I didn't do so well during freshmen and sophomore year but receive a 90 or above average for junior year will the good colleges even look more into me?

Colleges look at a student's overall academic performance. Also, colleges like to see an upward trend in a student's performance. You need to continue improving, and you will stand a chance with the colleges you are interested in.

In freshman year do I have to take Art in order to become a fashion designer or can't I take it in Senior Year?

Are asking about freshman year of high school or college ? Each college has a set of classes they have for each major that you have to complete for graduation. I wouldimagine that for a fashion designer you would do much more than one art class, but several .To become a fashion designer you really don't have to go to college. There are fashion design schools where that is the only thing they do. One of the biggest is in NYC and I know there is another in London. They can be expensive. As far as taking any class in freshman or senior year the colleges don't care when you take something just that you take it. College isn't structured that way where they micromanage your life. By the time you get to college you are considered an adult and it is up to you to manage your classes and grades.

It is possible to raise a 3.7 GPA to a 3.9, but it will depend on the number of classes you take your junior and senior years and the grades you earn in those classes.


I go to a private high school and I was wondering if going to a college prep high school helps your chances when applying to colleges?

It most likely would help your chances when you are applying to colleges. It does look good when you get good grades even at a school with high standards. Even if it does not help your chances much, it will definitely make you more prepared for college.
