Is this in any way helpful?

<p>ok…here are my GPAs</p>

<p>-Grade 9: 3.0
-Grade 10: 3.06
-Grade 11: 2.8:(
-Grade 12:going to be 3.4 or 3.5…</p>

<p>my question is,can this upward jump help me in any way…im an international whos applying to pretty good schools (GW,NYU,etc.)</p>

<p>Being an international makes it tougher to get into good schools.</p>

<p>that is hardly an upward trend… especially since your GPA actually went down from 10th to 11th.</p>

<p>but how bout that last bit between junior and senior year???</p>

<p>a jump in senior year will certainly help you. when you get a 3.4 or 3.5, your junior year will look like just an outcast - an unusually bad year that did not show your real ability.</p>

<p>oh,thats an optimistic way to look at it…thanks!</p>
