<p>How does Princeton deal with freshman grades? </p>
<p>I heard on another thread that they don't look at them. </p>
<p>So does that mean they recaculate your GPA based solely on your sophomore,junior, and half senior year grades?</p>
<p>Don't apply to Princeton. Apply to Cornell.</p>
<p>Yes, they ignore freshman year because they consider it a "transition period." Hopefully you still got decent/good grades, though, because they can only help you at that point.</p>
<p>Yeah I got good grades but I got one "c" my freshman year that I was worried about. With the C and the rest of my freshman grade my GPA would be 3.77 but w/o it my GPA is a 3.83 unweighted.</p>
<p>A 3.83 is still a little low (but acceptable, as is 3.77), but if you really show that you have a passion and are qualified in every other manner, then you will be fine. :)</p>
