Many students had challenging and atypical learning environments and mental health challenges last school year. Will college admissions take this into consideration if grades are substantially higher sophomore- senior year?? Or will they be too concerned with their admission stats being pulled down?

For comments on my daughter’s specific situation, my child had a solid B average with several honors classes freshman year for her core classes. Her grades are all A/A- now, but she needed to drop down levels in Math and Science, moved up to honors in English and History (her area of interest). As she starts to ask about college, I want to be able to guide her to the right mix of schools to get interested in. Thanks.
