<p>In my freshman year, I slacked off in school and received 3.0's and 3.1's for my semester grades. This was because I wanted to pursue an art education. However, after the summer I changed my career goal and I still wish to practice medicine. I have been receiving 4.0's and 4.05's ever since the beginning of sophmore year. Do you guys think the admissions counselors will notice my true academic potential? BTW, my cum. gpa is now raised to 3.75 and I'll be a senior applying to college next year.</p>
<p>same thing happened to me. i'm going for stanford. for stanford especially it won't matter
other colleges that will notice frosh grades:
Michigan Ann Arbor
Princeton
Claremont McKenna (I believe)
All UC's
Stanford</p>
<p>but don't let it stop you from applying to other places.</p>
<p>so those colleges do or don't pay special attention to freshman grades?</p>
<p>those don't care about 9th grade</p>
<p>..........</p>
<p>any more opinions as to how I would look like in front of an admissions counselor?</p>
