Got it - thanks.

One more question. I got a really low freshman GPA, barely 3.0, under the impression that “freshman grades don’t count.” (Having been educated at a mediocre high school, unfortunately my sources of information weren’t geared toward top schools.) My freshman/sophamore/junior GPA record will be roughly 3.0 > 4.0 > 4.5.

I know GPA isn’t everything, and I’m sure mine won’t be at all impressive, I’m just concerned with whether mine would be reasonable to the extent that I might be admitted based on other aspects of my application, which hopefully will be? Will pushing for the highest possible GPA junior year make much of a difference?

Thanks,
Daniel
