Sophomore grades do play a role in your overall GPA, but colleges generally place more emphasis on your junior year performance since it’s often seen as a better indication of your readiness for college-level work. Junior year is also when students typically take more challenging courses and have the opportunity to improve their academic standing.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that colleges look at the entire transcript, including sophomore grades, so it’s good to aim for improvement in your remaining semesters. If you can show a strong upward trend in your grades from sophomore to junior year, that can really help your application. Focus on doing your best moving forward, and consider talking to your teachers for extra help or tutoring if you’re still struggling with math. Good luck!
