If colleges say they dont look at freshman grades...

Applying to College

What do they mean?

I have a 3.9 not counting freshman year
I have a 3.65 counting freshman year

If colleges say “we dont count freshman grades”
than do they mean

<li>They cut out freshman year totally from the
admin. process and recalculate cumulative GPA without
freshman year </li>

or

<li>Dont “look” at frosh year but still count it for
cumulative GPA?</li>

Interested in Michigan mostly, but Im wondering about what
it generally means

Thanks

<p>I think its more like #1</p>

<p>Friend had 86 frosh year, which is around a B and then 97 next 2 years and got into stanford which doesnt look at freshman grades.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure its #1 because almost all colleges recalculate your gpa to their own standards.</p>

5

<p>For Michigan, it is #1.</p>

6

<p>UC's, Stanford, PRinceton, Michigan..are #1</p>

<p>Oh sheesh... my freshman year was good t_t. Maybe they'll cut out my sophomore year? ;)</p>

<p>well the difference between a 3.6 and a 3.9 is pretty significant....especially when it comes to selective schools.</p>
