<p>Are there any colleges that don't take into account freshman year grades? Without them, by gpa would be a 97, so I'm really hoping to find some schools that don't look at them too much or better yet, not at all. I'd prefer that those colleges be in New England or the mid-atlantic region, but thats not an absolute.</p>
<p>all the UCs.</p>
<p>thanks, but any in new england?</p>
<p>This article mentions some schools that don’t consider freshman grades. It’s from 2003 so take it with a grain of salt.

<p>Even if a school does look at freshman grades, bear in mind that an upward trend looks good.</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins recalculates GPA and doesn’t include freshman grades, though they say that they still look at them, or at least what classes you took.</p>
