Applying to College

<p>Basicaly my freshman year I didn't care about anything except being popular and getting drunk on weekends and my GPA ended up being a 2.6.</p>

<p>I've changed completely and now my GPA is a 3.8 uw. Can someone give me a list of colleges that don't count your freshman year?</p>

<p>hehehe in a way that's a good thing cuz they're going to see maturity and growth so u might hav an edge so in other words don't sweat they'll take that as a positive and good job with your gpa from a 2.6 to a 3.8 uw wow that's great</p>

<p>If you're going for top-tier schools, Stanford ignores freshman year.</p>

<p>haha i was just gonna post something like this...i had like a 3.55 weighted freshman year, but sophomore year was something like 3.9 uw 4.3 weighted and junior year is coming to be around 3.7 uw 4.3 weighted so i was wonding this too...do a lot of top schools that count freshman grades not put huge consideration into them if they see improvement?</p>

<p>im pretty sure UCs dont count freshman or senior years.</p>

<p>even other schools could let you slide though, especially since you went up and not down (aka it would be bad if you originally had a 3.8 and then slid to a 2.6) if you explained it on your app</p>

<p>3.8uw is still great...and they will see the amazing trend, so dont hesitate to apply to great schools.</p>
