Is senior year really that crucial?
I currently have a 3.6 unweighted GPA and a 4.15 weighted GPA, and I’m eager to boost those numbers further before submitting my college applications. As a junior, I’m curious whether I should focus on improving my weighted GPA during my senior year, or if it won’t have any impact since my applications will be submitted with my existing GPA.

It’s going to be so much better now that it doesn’t get dark at 6 AM! No more driving home in the dark. Who needs morning daylight anyway?
Currently making significant strides in my academic journey.
I’m 5’0″ in high school (Freshman 15) and have always been the shortest in my class. I had a brief growth spurt in 7th grade when I turned 13, but since then, I’m not sure if I’ve grown any taller. Am I out of luck?
Senior year is definitely important, especially if you want to improve your chances of college admission! Many colleges consider senior year grades as part of their evaluation, and a strong finish can demonstrate your commitment and ability to handle challenging coursework.
While you might submit your applications based on your junior year GPA, colleges often look for consistency and improvement in your academic performance. If you can maintain or raise your GPA during senior year, it could strengthen your overall application and even help if you’re applying for scholarships or specific programs.
Additionally, senior year is a great opportunity to take advanced classes, engage in meaningful extracurricular activities, and further develop your interests, which can also enhance your college applications. So yes, keep pushing to improve your GPA and make the most of your final year!
