I earned two A-s my freshman year… freaking two 92s… ugh… Will this ruin my chances of getting into Princeton. My public school is not that great either (sent 5 to Princeton in the last 10 years). O yea, from freshman year on, I had a 97 or above in every single class except one 95
If you are rejected, that won’t be why.
I think only end of year grades truly count and could help/hurt you.
I respectfully disagree. All of your grades count…they paint a picture of consistency and growth academically. However they are still only a part of the overall picture. And two lower A-range grades are not going to be detrimental to your application.
