Hi guys, so here's the thing :

I'm studying in India in an Indian school and my grade 9 percentage was 65% due to personal reasons. However, in grade 10th, 11th and 12th, it's been around 85 percent consistently, which is considered very good. I'm scared, however, that my 9th percentage will be a major red flag to the colleges. I want to know if this is true, or will they see the improvement i've made in the subsequent years and overlook my 9th percentage? Please help asap :/

Colleges tend to overlook freshmen year grades. However, you should explain the drop by telling your counselor to write a letter to the colleges. That way, they will know exactly why you messed up. And, yes. They will consider the fact that you improved.
