<p>i have 4 b's and 2 c's. do colleges really look at your freshmen year?</p>

[fairy_dreams]

<p>Um…Most do. But there are a lot of top colleges that don’t (eg: Stanford).</p>

<p>How’d you do that though? Freshman year is supposed to be the most lax.</p>

<p>They don’t calculate them into your official UC GPA, but your freshman grades are taken into account. </p>

<p>

UC Berkeley and UCLA both use the same procedures to select applicants that most selective schools use – a year by year review of the exact courses on the transcript – which includes noting how many APs were taken beyond the 8 semesters counted in “weighted UC GPA”, and other <em>qualitative</em> impressions. An impression of capability far beyond “UC GPA” and formed by noting performance in each and every class.

</p>

<p>Which means that they review each year and the classes you took, and how well you did in each of them.</p>

<p>I’m not sure, but I think you still have a pretty good chance? I mean, your UC GPA is fine…</p>
