Yep..summer school
Freshman year is 9th grade
Yes! Of Course!
No, you will just have to work hard to raise that GPA.
no.
Your parents will usually send you to summer school and you would have to work extra harder on the subjects that you failed over the summer as well. I am a freshman and I have to work on my algebra and geometry over the summer (for sophomore year), so I know just how you feel. But don't get discouraged; just study hard for tests and do your homework and you should be fine.
Well possibly, yes. There is no set formula for getting into an Ivy League school. Every decision is a combination of grades, test scores, extracurricular activities, teacher recommendations, etc. So a bad freshman year will not necessarily rule you out for admission. One thing that might help is an explanation for the bad freshman year provided by your guidance counselor. If the admissions officers have an idea of why there was such a drastic improvement in your grades, it might help your case! Anyway don't give up because of one bad year of school! Your other positives might very well outweigh that bad year! Keep up the good grades, try your best and cross your fingers...college decisions make sense to no one these days!
I'm not going to research West Point's standards for you, I think you are capable enough of figuring that out. Really, for any college you want your high school grades to be consistent, so if you were to apply you don't want the college looking at your freshman grades and thinking, "This person was really lazy freshman year." Colleges want people they know who aren't going to slack off.
To recover from a bad freshman year in college, you can start by reflecting on what went wrong and identifying areas for improvement. Seek support from academic advisors, counselors, or tutors to help you create a plan for success. Stay organized, manage your time effectively, and prioritize self-care to improve your academic performance and overall well-being. Remember that setbacks are a normal part of the college experience, and with determination and effort, you can bounce back and have a successful college career.
bad grades.
No he does not get good grades he gets bad grades!
Yes! Your freshman year grades are a part of your overall GPA (grade point average), which is a major factor in admission to any college. If your freshman year grades are poor, sorry to say that Harvard is unlikely to accept you since the are so competitive. However, there are many fine universities that may even grant you an academic scholarship if you are able to substantially improve your grades during your sophomore, junior and senior years. The way most colleges look at it: they'd rather take a student who started with low grades and improves over his/her high school career than take a student who had high freshman grades but poor grades in senior year.
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.
