Listen I am in college right now and I am going through the same head aches for transfering to another college. All I can say that Every year counts. I am not only talking about classes and stuff like that, but activities in and out of the school as well. So, Study hard, and get involved. Get A's and do community work or something. If all of your grades are good, and all you have is just one class, then just do not worry about it, because it will all average out at the end, just do not make it a habit, you know what I mean.
one more thing I do not know how schools in Queens work, but if you can take the course again try to do so, if it would not hurt your GPA.
I hope that helps.

No it's your junior year that is most important, colleges look at your sophomore year, but it doesn't matter as much as junior and then they can't really look at you senior year becuase you've applied before your final grades have come out. So do well in your sophomore year, and geometry isn't that big a deal, just pass enough so that you can pass the class and go into Algerbra 3/4 or whatever your school has you take next, and just make sure to do well in your junior year

All grades have importance. The upper classman grades will be of more importance however. Colleges know what the word sophomore means...wise fool. Your junior & senior grades will indicate your degree of diligence and knowledge. The courses offered in those years tend to be more difficult. Study on!

They look at all your grades...but they are pretty forgiving about them... Alot of their basis is on overall GPA, and exit tests like the SAT. I had one whole year with all c's, and still got into my college of choice with ease. If you are still in highschool, try and do your best for the years left. Don't ease up with your studying and it will pay off. You should have no problem.Good Luck!
By the way, I LOVE that show too! (King of Queens)!!

I would say junior year has the biggest impact on what college you can get into. You should be taking the most challenging classes this year and you also will be taking the ACT/SAT's.

They look at all your grades and your SAT's or ACT's. If you take the SAT's or the ACT's they would look at your socres and that well depend on what colleges want you. I think when I was in school you had to score at least a 700 or more to get into colleges.

You're most important years are your junior and senior years. However, colleges are going to focus more on your rank and gpa.

They look at your overall grades in highschool. But most only care about standardized tests (ACT, SAT) cause everyone is on the same page then.
