[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges will overlook some grades, but look for an upward trend. Sorry, it's called GPA, Not GPA for Freshman year, Sophomore year, Junior year et .[/quote] Myths like this are perpetuated by admissions departments to inflate apps. Ditto the emphasis on "holistic" and on quirky essays. Most colleges don't even read your essays. It's all bullshit. Their software filters out everyone with mediocre GPA and SAT - human eyes never see your app. When a quirky essay is leaked by an Ivy or Stanford it's because they want plebs to think an essay makes a different. ex., the Black Lives Matter one last year was by a minority kid who had perfect stats! [/quote] My kid actually gots card from the elite college admissions officer that said ‘I loved your essay’! Huh.[/quote]
