<p>My grade record:
freshman year- all straight As and almost all 95+</p>
<p>sophomore year- better fall semester grades than spring semester although school switched to a end of the year grade instead of separate semester grades and so a few As with mostly mid to high Bs and one low B (like 82)</p>
<p>For my junior year I am doing a year abroad in French-speaking Belgium. If I were staying I would be attempting to make the highest grades possible, but I am not, and as this is a negative seeing as junior year is the most important year academically concerning college applications, it’s also a positive because it’s somewhat of a hook to have spent a year abroad and be fluent in French. I don’t know if I will have any official grades from this year but I should receive credit. </p>
<p>My question is, when applying to college in the fall semester of my senior year, (that’s when most deadlines are, right?) what will my GPA be based on? The last year I was in school? Which will be sophomore year? Otherwise how can I have a GPA in the middle of a semester when our GPAs are only calculated at the end of each semester?</p>
