<p>Okay. I'm new to this so I dont even know if i'm posting in the right forum. I'm currently a junior at a large average high school. Last year i was at a boarding school called Middlsex, and I ended the year with not so good grades (my GPA was a 3.34). Now, I have a 4.0 GPA. I play soccer, im in a couple of clubs, etc. I want to get into an Ivy, NOT JUST because of the "name" Its more then that; Princeton has been my dream school ever since my sibling graduated from there. My question is, since I ***ed up my freshman year, do I still have a chance?
Also, everyone says colleges are into extra curriculars, but Im lost on where to start...definietely in need of some help!</p>
<p>Princeton doesn't count freshman year</p>
<p>you're from middlesex?
I'd say your 3.34 in 9th grade isn't that big an issue</p>
<p>yeah, somedumbnoob is right. wow, that's weird to say.
anyway, a lot of colleges don't count freshman year. and plus, colleges like to see improvement anyway =] don't stress.</p>
<p>thanks guys, im liking this whole upward trend thing :)</p>
