freshman hs grades

<p>does princeton consider them in admissions?</p>

<p>Yes. They consider your entire secondary school transcript. I got a B in a class freshman year, and am extremely worried about how it'll affect my chances...sounds dumb, but I'm still worrying.</p>

<p>Hey no, Pton doesn't consider frosh year grades</p>

<p>im pretty sure princeton doesnt consider freshman year grades. Or so someone says.</p>

<p>"Someone?" I can't seem to find anything about not looking at frosh grades anywhere on the website...and it would make sense for them to look at your entire transcript. I could be wrong, but it's fairly logical to examine your entire high school career.</p>

<p>They dont look at freshman grades (thank god). I went to their oncampus tour/info session and the admissions lady said they recalculate your GPA, one of the ways by taking out the freshman year. They see frosh year as a "transition for many"</p>

<p>They also remove non-academic classes from the recalculation.</p>

<p>Wow. That...that's wonderful.</p>

<p>what a beautiufl beautiful system....</p>

<p>how do they recalc...like mich?</p>

<p>4.0=a
3.0=b
etc... and then for weighted </p>

<p>5.0=a
4.0=b</p>

<p>etc???</p>

<p>They strip all weighting.</p>

<p>yea but is that the right scale?</p>

<p>I think they don't weight, but do factor in +'s and -'s on a 4 point scale</p>

<p>oh no, I have all A-s :( that's not cool. I thought they didn't matter so I stopped trying after I got over the 90 line :(</p>

<p>wait so final word, which is it?
Weighted/nonweighted?
+/-?</p>

<p>yea i still wanna knwo</p>
