Bad Freshman Year

Will a Bad Freshman year hurt my UC / stanford chances?

i know that they don’t include freshman year in gpa, but factors like the class rank might be affected. (or do they only take the soph, junior class rank?) . On the other hand, they might say how much i improved. (Freshman 3.6, Soph 4.3, Junior, 4.5)

thanks

<p>MAN!! HEY JOIN THE CLUB!! MEH TOOO!!!!! ecept mine was 3.9 GPA in freshman. dood...man...dont u worry...if u show GREEAT improvement like u did, they will take you into a huge consideration. hey..i wouldnt be suprised if u got accepted to any UC. but stanford..boy, man, u never know about them. but im pretty sure with a crazy essay and great recommendation will make up for ur freshman.</p>

<p>thanks for that great encouragement
as for stanford, i already know i don't have much of a chance.. all i want is at least a little bit of chance maybe 20-40% </p>

<p>thanks though</p>
