<p>In my freshman year, I slacked off in school and received 3.0’s and 3.1’s for my semester grades. This was because I wanted to pursue an art education. However, after the summer I changed my career goal and I still wish to practice medicine. I have been receiving 4.0’s and 4.05’s ever since the beginning of sophmore year. Do you guys think the admissions counselors will notice my true academic potential? BTW, my cum. gpa is now raised to 3.75 and I’ll be a senior applying to college next year.</p>
<p>Many colleges don’t even consider freshman grades. Your upward trend is impressive. Do well on your standardized tests and I don’t think you’ll have a problem.</p>
<p>Well, I received a 28 on the ACT and I’m retaking it in Sept. so hopefully I can get a 30 or above.</p>
