yes. improving your GPA, despite taking progressively more difficult classes, is important for admissions to competitive colleges.
but do yourself a favor when your Sr year comes- dont aim for only HYPS, etc level colleges. there will be tens of thousands of equally “qualified” applicants to those same colleges- all vying for a few spots.
