<p>Does carnegie mellon look at freshman grades/gpa?</p>
<p>if i knew what you were talking bout I would answer</p>
<p>I didnt think it was so hard to understand, but does carnegie mellon look at a prospective student's high school freshman year grades during the admission process?</p>
<p>Yes, they do!</p>
<p>you bet ya</p>
<p>Almost every school does.</p>
<p>My other prospective school, Princeton, doesnt so I was simply wondering. I'm sure they weight junior/senior grades more than 9/10?</p>
<p>obviously junior and senior year grades will better represent you as a student, but freshman grades will not be completely ignored by any school, i would think.</p>
<p>Stanford just asks for 10-12 grades and involvement.</p>
<p>dont know how accurate this is but....</p>
<p>"Johns Hopkins, as well as the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and Carnegie Mellon, also throws out all freshman-year marks."</p>
<p>Very interesting... I cross-posted in the cmu rep thread. Hopefully we can clear this up.</p>
<p>Any current junior or senior in ECE or CS can tell the average GPA for these two majors?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>That sucks. I made a huge effort my freshman year to get great grades so I could stand out from the other applicants who slacked off their freshman year. I guess all that work was for nothing.....</p>
<p>I don't know anything for sure about how CMU looks at freshman grades, but no matter what, they probably had a part to play in your class rank, which all schools look at. So don't feel like it was a waste.</p>
<p>We dont have class rank at my school (way too competitive as it is).</p>
<p>princeton10, some schools do look:) (or :( for some)</p>
