Hey guys,

So everyone says how colleges love to see an improvement as a student progresses through high school, (although the years tend to get more challenging). I have 2 ninth grades. I came from a public school with a 4.2 GPA. My first year in a very rigorous private school was good (3.6 unweighted, 3.8 weighted). My sophomore year was terrible and I pulled low grades (but in challenging courses- almost all honors. I ended up with around a 3.2 (unweighted, and 3.4 weighted). Mostly all b’s. Junior year i took 2 APs and 3 honors and got 4 A-'s and a B+. I am a recruit, but not for a heavily recruited sport. If i continue to do well senior year, will my sophomore year still slow me down? I will be applying to top notch schools- because of the recruiting. Thanks for the help. All comments welcome.
