<p>I did terrible in my freshman year of high school (2.75 GPA), but I was taking two honors classes and had over 50 community service hours. Even if I did amazing in my next three years of high school, would my freshman year still sever my chances? Thank you.</p>
<p>There’s no obvious answer to that question, but you have 0% chance of getting in if you don’t apply!
You can explain in interviews and such why your freshman year grades were poor, and show them that you improved and really want this.
What I appreciated about the WP Application process was how well my ALO got to know me as a whole person, rather than just a name on an application.</p>
<p>Best of luck!!</p>
