I am currently a Freshman, with a 94% GPA. I did pretty bad compared to my friends (who got between 96%-99%). Will this hurt my chances of going to an Ivy League?
That statement is just disingenuous. Grades are but one part of the application packages for an Ivy League school, and a 94 will not hurt.
As far as the header question, most colleges look at freshman grades. Whether they do or don’t though, you need to file it under “It is what it is.”
Alright, thanks!
Also, Ivy League is not one single school. You need to find out school by school.
