does he have a good chance going into college?

Hello, Uhm this has been bothering me for a very long time. Highschool right? Getting ready for college/university.. My question is, do they look at your grade 9, 10, 11 & 12 marks, or just grade 12? I have been hearing only grade 12. My boyfriend is in grade 11 and isn’t doing all that good. He says he has never done so bad. Stress plays a big role in this. I’m wondering, if he passes his classes with a 60 or higher, and does WAY better in grade 12 and might take an extra year, and does well in that year too, does he have a good chance going into college?

Thank you very much, all answers will be appreciated.

Answer #1

Most colleges focus (or so I’ve heard) on the junior year of high school. Since 12th grade is usually in progress during the application/acceptance process, it doesn’t really affect your chances. Colleges base acceptance on GPA, SAT/ACT scores, community/extra-curricular involvement, class rank, etc.

Answer #2

Colleges tend to look at GPAs, which is affected by 9th-12th grades.
But nobody’s perfect, many colleges are quite forgiving, especially if a year of poor grades was caused by outside stress. In fact, such stories make for good “overcoming failure” tragedies, which college admissions people and corporate recruiters seem to love…

Answer #3

Depends.

Answer #4

He’ll get into college, just don’t expect MUCH. It also depends what college he is applying for.
