Top Colleges That Don't Look At Freshman Year

<p>All the California universities, Princeton (they recalculate your class rank without your freshman, same as Stanford), U of Michigan @ Ann arbor, Yale, and Harvard dosen’t look at it too seriously. They do emphasize junior year though.</p>

<p>Would high schools really be willing to send their entire (or top N%) senior class courses and grades to every college that wants to do this?</p>

<p>I’m assuming that you must be a HS student. Time for a critical thinking lesson. Assume xx thousands of apps show up on your door ~Jan 5. You have to review them and process them and make decisions by late March. (How much time and resources are required to redo EVERY applicants’ transcript in a timely manner. How many staff members will be required to pull this off, and then proof for mistakes?) But wait, there’s more. After you finish with the first three years of student data, you get to go back and enter all of the first semester grades which start arriving in late January. Some high schools don’t post until early Feb, so the remainder of the transcript is not finalized until late Feb. Don’t forget, decisions need to get made a couple of weeks later.</p>

<p>Do you really believe that P’ton will go to all that trouble? It cannot be done. It is not done.</p>
