<p>I didnt do to good my freshmen year. My gpa was a 2.63 but the rest of the years since freshmen year I got straight As.I attended the number 1 high school in Illinois. Freshmen year I had Bs in all my core subjects but not in my electives of gym and computer science because I didnt go. Will they over look these grades and write it off as a bad year or weigh it heavily on my application.</p>
<p>Freshman year will be the one that will weigh least on your application. As long as you’ve shown steady improvement, you should be fine. You can get into a great school even with bad grades freshman year. 
(Example: I know someone going to Duke who got D’s freshman and sophomore years but improved drastically his last two years 
)</p>

<p>Also, do look at Freshman gpa to make sure you didn’t fail. I will be a negative. I know someone who was rejected from Harvard who had a 4.8 Soph-Senior because he got 2 Cs in fresh year</p>
