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.
If you get good grades in the last 3 years, not that much at all. First, different colleges have different requirements. Many are relying less on grades and more on SATs, outside activities, etc. Second, a college will look at your overall GPA first. If your GPA is low for a particular college, they will often take into account the fact that you had some problems in freshman year but worked up to your potential in subsequent years. This might be an issue you'll want to address in your entrance essay. Though while freshman year grades are probably the least important, you still want to get good grades in the right classes. You really don't want to fail a class and then have to take it over the next year. That is a waste of a class hour where you could have taken something else. Answer Not much, especially if your grades consitently improve thorough out high school.
you shouldn't worry so much about freshman and sophmore year, trust me. do well in your junior and senior years and on your sat/act and you will be fine
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.
The exact amount depends on your test scores, grades and scholarship options, but it's about in the middle of what colleges cost.
Absolutely! First of all, colleges will definitely look at how much you have improved over the years. If you do well on your SAT and have a decent overall GPA, you should have no problems getting in.
Depends on your height.
any where in the 185 to 215 range
It costs at average $35,540.00 but if your a freshman $35,520.00
It is either that the student doesn't pay much attention in class or doesn't study at home or that the teacher doesn't do her/his job very well at teaching.
maybe an A but if you have too much hw, the stress will be too much a you will have a panic attack= bad grades
It is not as important to get perfect grades as it is to do your best and learn as much as you can. Most colleges do want the "straight A" students, but if you have B's and a good attitude, you will be able to get into a good school.Concentrate more on learning how to learn so that you can succeed no matter what you do!
christian colleges help you with your walk with God and the atmosphere is much better than public school colleges.
