<p>I was wondering if I still have a chance at Ivies (the ones that dont look at fesh year)
..grade wise
in 8th gradei took hs courses so the grades for them are on my trandscipt they are - 98,95, 85</p>
<p>in 9th grade i got- 90, 70,70,70,85,80 and 80,80,80,99,65,75,75</p>
<p>soph year- 98,98,98,95,99,100, 108 (i got a 98 and if u take ap you get the grade you get x 1.10= 107.8/110)</p>
<p>junior year- 99,99,100,95,98,110,108</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure all of the Ivies look at your freshman year grades...</p>
<p>Why the 30 point disparities between grades 9 and 10?</p>
<p>Supposedly Princeton doesn't.</p>
<p>They can probably understand your case. While your freshman grades may potentially be harmful, you still have a chance.</p>
<p>If you are really interested in a few ivies, by all means apply.</p>
<p>I would mean more if you gave us the titles for the class. It would be easier to see if your substandard grades in frosh year were because of the difficulty of the class, a subject you aren't good at, or you were just lazy.</p>
<p>What happened freshman year??</p>
<p>Anyway, even if some colleges don't look at freshman year grades, your class rank is still calculated by using your grades from all four years. Geting C's and D's freshman year, will certainly prevent you from getting a top class rank-which is definately important with Ivy League admissions.</p>
<p>Sorry to tell you this but, yes, as far as I am concerned, Ivies look at all your grades. The best you can hope for is maybe that they'll disregard your freshman year grades. But just like everyone else wants to know, what happened freshman year?</p>
<p>ugh lets not even start there, i was horrible, i always missed class, had a boyfriend so that interfered, depression and all these things i regret, brought down my academics
but princeton+harvard doesnt
and i also heard stanford doesnt</p>
<p>as for my rank its 45/702 which is top 6 percent (thank god i caught up) the #1 operson has a 101 ... i have a 95</p>
<p>yea but i also looked at some of the ivy leauges at collegeboard.com and mostly all of them "consider" the class rank"</p>
<p>Harvard does look at freshman grades.</p>
<p>I can't imagine rank mattering that much if you are just a few points away from the #1, or would it?</p>
<p>Note to self: resist urges to get girlfriend</p>
<p>Physics08 is right; I know for a fact that Harvard looks at freshman year grades.</p>
<p>ok...i heard harvard doesnt from a teacher so im sure it doesnt
but i no for A FACT princeton doesnt
and stanford too</p>
<p>and to bob- the val. in my school who's going to princeton has had a bf for 4 yrs, some people can handle it some cant, i found out i can't</p>
<p>I think that colleges might look at Freshman year, but they don't count it as much.</p>
<p>I'm sure all colleges will look at freshman grades; some colleges just won't consider them as much as grades in 10-12.</p>
