GPA question

Do schools take into account the fact that it is harder to raise your gpa in the latter years of undergrad due to the number of credits that you have taken? How much consideration do they give to upward trends? I had a few grades my sophomore year that significantly brought down my GPA but since then I have gotten really good grades.

I think they look quite favorably upon improving upon the later years because it shows that maybe you have matured. I don't really think they're going to have much sympathy for not doing well just because you're taking more credits.

Oh I know, I meant that it's harder to raise your gpa in your junior year because you already have 100+ class credits being factored in. 🙂
