Do colleges look at only your 10th/11th overall GPA or your overall GPA?
I heard that some colleges (mostly UCs) only look at your sophomore and junior year GPA/courses? Is this true for all most colleges or just the UCs? I want to get into the UMN-Twin Cities, but I don't know if they will accept me because of my 9th grade GPA. I took all honors classes freshman year, but I only had a 3.71 GPA overall. This year, I doubled in science (both honors) and took honors for math and English, and my GPA is 3.8-8.5, but I don't know if it's good enough. I plan on taking 4 APs next year in 11th grade. Will colleges look at my freshman GPA and be disappointed/reject me? Or do they just look at sophomore/junior year GPA?

As per my knowledge and I remember asking the same question with my counselor, so colleges don't look at your 9th grade gpa, but they will definitely look from 10th grade to the end of high school.
