Based on that GPA, good chances. Do you have proof that they do not consider freshman year ?
I couldn’t find any, and have been told this before.

3

Yes, I toured their campus this fall and during their information session an admissions representative explainef that they did not consider freshman year grades, yet they do check current senior year grades for EA applicants.

Okay, thanks. So the GPA will be unweighted, based on 10-11th grade, and most likely be core classes?

5

Yes, core classes. They said “the classes that you think will not be considered probably will not be considered” lol which is true, like Health and Family consumer science…

6

haha, crap. So the GPA pumpers are gone. Is it by final grade or by semester grades?

7

I’m not sure. My school only does semester grades and does not calculate a final class grade for both semesters, so I think it depends on how your individual school is.

8

Is Spanish considered? Cause if it is i am pretty much done with GPA…

@Emorylove732 I think Spanish is, they typically include foreign languages as a core (since it is recommended/required by most colleges).
