College
Hey im only a freshman, but i am so determined to go to college..i missed a week of school to have suregy, but i got right back on the work, and have an A in science an A in band and were gonna get our "progress reports" for algebra today, im hoping its an A. If not ill have to raise it.
But october 14th (next firday) we get term report cards. I REALLY want a 4.0 because i would really like to go to a good university..but im wondering can your jr high school grades affect your college resume in any way? I always got like a 3.0..and i even failed algebra in 8th grade..im hoping thats not gonna bring me down. Please help me, i searched colleges online and i dont really see anyone that checks jr high gpa.
*will rate high*

It depends which college you want to go to. Some colleges will check into your jr high grades if you took a class like Spanish or German 1 for a highschool credit, Others only look at your highschool gpa. You don't have to have really high grades to get into a good school.

No, junior high does not count towards college. The two most important years that you are going to want to focus most on are your junior and senior year of highschool. But maintaining a fairly high GPA all through highschool will def help you out.

colleges look at the whole highschool year..im pretty sure. and they also look at a couple years of a foriegn language and community service.try to join groups in school,like sports and stuff,but make sure you still get all your school work done first.just do home work,and participate(sp)in school and in activities.

they dont look at your junior high grades at all. sometimes they dont even really care about your freshman grades. you grades you get as a junior are the ones that could and you can get as low as a 3.8 and still get into a big school with a scolarship because your report card isnt everything

Junior high grades don't matter. Just continue doing well in high school and doing extracirricular stuff/community service and you should get into a decent school!:)

WOW. Oh dear, I've gotten out of the habit of naming people who don't leave names for themselves. Alrighty then, Mary Jane, here we go.
You are thinking way ahead, woman! I don't know of a university in existance that looks at your Jr High GPA. Some universities don't even look seriously at your Highschool GPA. And, if you're seeing Ivy League in your future, than you need to expand your horizons beyond your GPA. Study hard for your SAT and your ACT. There are many tests to take that will help you prepare for them, included among these is the PSAT/NMSQT (That's Pre-SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test). Also, many universities are now looking at external qualifying factors -- such an community service and your linguistic abilities.
If Ivy league is not where you're headed for, I encourage you to talk to your guidance councilor and see if your state offers a Post Secondary Options Enrollment Program. I know that the state of Ohio has this program, but I do not know how many other states have implemented one.
The purpose of the PSEOP program is to offer wider options to those high school students whose educational level is high enough for them to excell in a college environment. -- Better still, the State pays for your tuition and books! Through the program, many highschool students graduate from college years earlier than they normally would, and at less cost.
Now that I've given you the obligatory text book advice, though, I offer the following emotional advice: As a former PSEOP student, don't take on more than you can handle. Don't become too focused on your ultimate grades and abilities. Enjoy life and enjoy the time you have without all the hassles of college and work.
Good luck in your scholastic and life endeavors, Mary Jane!

im not too sure, but usually it only matters during the last couple of years of high school.
