<p>9th grade yr I had a 2.8 but when I apply to college I’ll have a 3.6-3.7. Would they throw out my app once they see it’s a 3.6-3.7?
Potential hooks:
looking at a 2300+ SAT
Inner city American American
35k income for family of 5
1st gen college
Outstanding upward trend ( after 9th grade gpa went up more than 1 whole point).
With normal EC’s, Essays and solid recs…is this gpa too low?</p>
<p>Absolutely. I’m shocked that you’re even considering applying to college. You should just drop out and leave the pool for the rest of us who are serious.</p>

<p>I’m fairly certain that Princeton disregards freshman grades.</p>
