[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a little skeptical of the upward trend benefit. Isn't your GPA your GPA?[/quote] Some schools don't count Freshmen grades at all. My son had a serious upper trend and he got into the kinds of school reflected by his sophomore and junior grades plus test scores. Mostly his merit aid was based on straight GPA, which affected where he wound up.[/quote] This was DS's experience as well. DS had B/C's 9th grade year but nearly straight A's by senior year in the most rigorous classes offered by the school. He ended up being admitted to some good schools (UMCP-in state, Tulane with some merit, and one top 25 university etc). Gender/high test scores might have made a difference as well. It seems pretty obvious the upward trend helped, however, straight A's all the way would have been better![/quote]
