<p>How do these look. How much of a difference is there?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>All A's in hardest courses with two B in freshman year, one first and one second</p></li>
<li><p>All A's in hardest courses</p></li>
<li><p>All A's in hardest courses with two b's junior year</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I know 2 is best, then 1, then three</p>
<p>but how much of a difference is there in between them?</p>
<p>How much do colleges really discount freshman year</p>
<p>for like Upenn level?</p>
<p>northwester?</p>
<p>Well, I know Stanford (perhaps you may consider it UPenn level) claims they don’t consider freshman year at all. But it’s still on the transcipt so they (all adcoms) still see it. I don’t think one or two Bs will make or break you. But you will need go SATs and recs and essays to help make up for a couple of Bs, if that’s the case.</p>
<p>what’s the problem?!?!</p>
<p>A lot of colleges disregard freshman year grades. </p>
<p>But what’s going to matter with these versions is a) which courses you got the B’s in and b) how much your rank is affected.</p>
<p>no class rank!</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Is that because your school’s pretty difficult? Basically what rank does is give colleges a sense of where you stand in relation to your peers. A B at your school could be val or as far down the picking order as top quarter. It’s relative.</p>
<p>Yea im in the 2nd or 3rd best public school in IL </p>
<p>And its open enrollment.
Thats why no class rank</p>
